dc.description.abstractThe paper takes a holistic look at the historical trajectory of Nigeria-China diplomatic and economic relations. This is done with the aim of understanding the dynamics of the relationship between Nigeria and China from its inception in 1971 up till 2018. The study adopts a historical and analytic approach while data were gathered using secondary sources. Findings reveal that Nigeria-China relations gradually evolved from mere diplomatic exchanges to a relationship hinged on win-win economic situation. Evidence from available sources suggests that following China’s new economic orientation since the beginning of the 21st century as well as Nigeria’s search for development partners, the relationship between both countries grew exponentially from 1999 up till 2018. The conclusion derived from available evidence is that Nigeria holds a strategic place in China’s foreign policy owing to her huge oil and gas deposits, large market for finished goods and huge population. The paper posits that Nigeria’s relationship with China holds great prospects for the country if its policy makers put in place the right measures to reap the dividends of the relationship.en_US
