China has offered a significant boost to Nigeria's export ambitions after its ambassador in Abuja, Yu Dunhai, announced that Beijing is prepared to fast-track a zero-tariff policy for Nigerian goods ahead of schedule.
The move signals a fresh push to strengthen economic ties as both countries mark 55 years of diplomatic relations and prepare for the 2026 China Africa Year of Cultural Exchanges.
Yu pledged during a meeting with Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, where discussions centred on trade expansion, strategic cooperation, and long-term development priorities.
