“Nigeria has become the second biggest trade partner of China in the Sub-saharan Africa. The bilateral trade volume has reached 18 billion dollars up to 2018”, according to Wale Oloko, Consul General of Nigeria in Guangzhou, “during the the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, Nigeria and China signed cooperation documents related to the Belt and Road Initiative, which has played a significant role for enhancing the bilateral cooperation”.

“It’s more important that 30% of Neigeria-China trade relations go trough Guangdong. Many Guangdong-based companies such as Huawei, ZTE and GAC are providing information & technology platforms in Nigeria”, said Mr. Oloko.
