Henry To on China‐Nigeria economic relations

Global Business

China’s growth is set to slow further after expanding nearly seven percent last year.

This has taken a toll on countries dependent on energy exports to China like Nigeria. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is on a five-day trip in Beijing to talk trade.

In 2015, trade between the two amounted to about $15 billion. During that year, Chinese investments into Nigeria reached $2.5 billion.

Now, Nigeria has been trying to diversify its economy and depend more on services.
