The Federal Government has called on China to extend its recent trade tariffs removal to Nigeria, as it has done for 33 African countries.

The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, made the appeal during a recent meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai.

She emphasized Nigeria’s commitment to diversification, urging China’s support in key sectors such as electric vehicle assembly, digital technology, renewable energy, and agriculture.

The Minister also acknowledged China’s significant role in Nigeria infrastructure development, particularly in roads and railways, highlighting Nigeria’s efforts to modernize its power sector and ports to attract more investment.
