British Steel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hitech Construction Africa to supply structural materials for the modernisation of two port complexes in Nigeria.
The materials will be supplied to ITB-Hitech Nigeria, with the project designed to upgrade infrastructure, boost operational efficiency and Nigeria’s trade capacity.
British Steel’s commercial director, Craig Harvey, said: “At British Steel, we have vast experience of supplying a wide range of products to international customers. We are delighted to play such a significant role in this rehabilitation project, and the signing of the MoU demonstrates our commitment to building stronger futures in the region.”
The MoU was signed by Harvey and Emile Antone - head of procurement at Hitech – at the UK Export Finance Supplier Fair, which took place in London on 19 November.
Ronald Chagoury Jr., vice-chairman of Hitech, added: “This is a nationally significant project, and its successful delivery is essential to strengthening Nigeria’s port capacity and long-term economic growth. By partnering with British Steel, we are ensuring that the modernisation of the Tin Can Island and Lagos Apapa Port Complexes is built with high-quality, durable materials that will stand the test of time.
“This collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, world-class infrastructure for the country.”
