Nigeria can be Africa’s most industrialised nation in 10 years’


Nigeria has been described as a country with the potentials to become Africa’s most industrialised nation in less than 10 years if the abundant human and natural resources are adequately harnessed.

Deputy Managing Director of Sinoria FABCOM, Mr. Jackie Dai Hui, stated this in a chat with journalists in Abuja while unveiling the company’s new line of product known as fibre cement board.

Sinoria FABCOM which has been in Nigeria for almost a decade is a recognised brand in the manufacture of stone coated roofing sheets, with its manufacturing facilities in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.

Mr. Jackie Hui said, Sinoria FABCOM is the only manufacturer of stone coated roofing tiles in the whole of West Africa sourcing almost 70% of its raw materials locally. He noted that their investment in Nigeria is an eye opener as they have seen firsthand the huge potentials of Nigeria in terms of human and raw material resources.

“Nigeria is just about where China was about 20 years ago and like China; Nigeria can transform its fortune in the next 10 to twenty years to become not just an African giant but a global giant”, he stated.

He noted that their massive investment in Nigeria is borne out of the belief in the future of Nigeria saying “we see ourselves as partners with the Nigerian government and are here to stay and be partners in the growth and development of Nigeria.”
