Nigeria’s Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is reaching out to Chinese investors as part of efforts to increase investment in the country’s oil and gas sector and boost revenue for the Federation Account. The commission says it is engaging stakeholders and pursuing partnerships aimed at mobilising resources from the sector, including gas.
RMAFC’s outreach is presented by outlets as both immediate engagement and longer-term planning. One report says the commission is wooing Chinese investors to unlock Nigeria’s “vast gas resources” to improve national revenue, while another specifies plans for a China summit in 2026 focused on attracting oil and gas investments. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis—some focus on the investor targeting itself, while others highlight the proposed 2026 summit as the mechanism for bringing deals and stakeholders together—though both link the initiative to revenue gains and gas development.
