The event was organised by NIIA in partnership with the Chinese Consulate General in Lagos, Africa-China Economy Magazine and Institute of African Studies, ZNU, China. Osaghae suggested that it’s time to determine how far China can help Nigeria deconstruct the global power structures using continuous decolonisation as an instrument to ensure the global order works for Nigeria.
She explained that China desires a universally beneficial economic globalisation, that meets the common needs of all countries, especially the developing countries, and properly addresses the development imbalances between and within countries resulting from the global allocation of resources. He hoped that China would focus on partnership rather than creating a hegemonic relationship. He, however, urged Nigerians to work to prevent the relationship from becoming hegemonic.
Those investments created more than 137,000 jobs across 259 projects. In 2020, the Chinese were recorded as providing 200,000 direct employment for Nigerians. Nigeria’s manufacturers and businesses struggling due to the lingering energy crisis may have more to worry about, as oil price, yesterday, soared to $87.16 per barrel.
