(Benin City, Nigeria)

On April 2, 2026, a delegation led by the Regional Manager and Branch Manager of Ecobank Nigeria—a leading pan-African banking group—visited the Benin City office of Shanghai Jianhang Investment Co., Ltd. The bank had previously expressed strong interest in the company’s mega-scale layer farm project and AVA cement plant project in the region, and this visit was specifically aimed at providing performance bonds for these projects.

Ecobank is one of Africa’s largest banking groups, headquartered in Lomé, Togo, with a business network spanning more than 30 African countries and extensive local service capabilities in Nigeria. During the meeting, Shanghai Jianhang provided an update on the progress of the company’s core projects in Nigeria. Ecobank spoke highly of the business models and progress made on the two projects, expressing its willingness to leverage its local financial strengths to tailor letter of credit solutions for the projects and support the refinement and implementation of the financing structure.

Shanghai Jianhang extended a warm welcome to Ecobank, noting that its letter of credit services would provide strong support for enhancing the project’s creditworthiness. This meeting further underscored the confidence that leading local financial institutions have in the company’s project prospects. As financing channels continue to open up, Shanghai Jianhang’s strategic expansion in Nigeria is accelerating.
