China will help Nigeria develop its space technology
to meet up with those of developed economies, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria,
Gu
Xiao Jie, has said.
Jie made the promise when
he visited the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT) in Abuja.
He said China would
facilitate the establishment of an assimilation centre in Nigeria where serious
space work would be carried out.
According to the Chinese
ambassador, China would also help Nigeria in its quest to launch satellite on
its ground.
Responding, the NIGCOMSAT
Managing Director, Abimbola Alale, said Nigeria would
continue to tap from China's wealth of experience in space technology.
She said space technology
could help increase Nigeria's revenue base if adequately utilized.
