Bayelsa State has signed an MoU with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) to develop infrastructure, agriculture, aquaculture, and housing projects.
Governor Douye Diri signed the deal in Beijing, describing CCECC as a key development partner. CCECC President Chen Sichang said the firm will invest in community roads, power, water supply, and farming projects.
Sichang highlighted CCECC’s ongoing 630-metre Angiama-Oporoma bridge project, its longest stand-alone bridge in Nigeria, and pledged timely delivery.
Diri noted that the state had cleared inherited debts to strengthen collaboration and announced plans to invite President Bola Tinubu to commission the bridge in February 2026.
