Attention was also given to the domestic factors that shaped China s relations with Nigeria and how Nigeria views the changing role of China on the African continents. Historical method or approach was employed in this study. Both Primary and Secondary sources published were used by the researcher. The study established that Nigeria s external relation with China has been beneficial to the two countries.

8 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study The relationship between Nigeria and China was cooperative and cordial, especially between 1999 and Prior to this time, Nigeria adopted a broadly pro-western policy and did little to establish diplomatic relations with China. Formal diplomatic ties between the two countries came into being in 1971, barely a year after the end of the Nigerian Civil War ( ). However, following China s economic growth in the 1980s, Nigerian leaders began to look forward to a more serious economic engagement with China. 1 With the inauguration of the former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, Nigeria-China relations began to deepen. The first Ministerial conference of the forum on China-Africa cooperation was held in Beijing, China in October, Obasanjo did not attend but senior Nigerian representatives did and in the same year the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) was awarded a tender to build 5000 housing units for athletes participating in the eight All African Games in Abuja, which were built 2. In 2001, the two countries signed an agreement on the establishment of a Nigeria Trade Office in China and a China Investment Development and Trade Promotion centre in Nigeria. 3 Bilateral relations between the two countries intensified further during President Obasanjo s second term in office, from 2003 to
9 President Hu Jintho and Prime Minister Wen Jiabo of China both visited Nigeria during this period and Obasanjo visited Beijing twice 4. During President Hu s visitation to Nigeria, 26 th -27 th, April, 2006, he agreed with President Obasanjo to work on a strategic plan for the future growth of bilateral relations to push forward the strategic partnership between the two countries 5. To further enhance the bilateral relations between the two countries, they both agreed to establish an intergovernmental Nigeria-China investment forum which was later founded in Obasanjo used his influence as his own minister of Petroleum to secure major oil blocs for Chinese firms. These blocs awards entailed significant infrastructure-building commitment for Chinese firms across a range of sectors adding to the already growing number of Nigerian projects in their hand since On the Chinese side, the main aim of government policy towards Nigeria were to a. increase China s presence in Nigeria s sector b. expand Nigerian market for Chinese manufactured goods c. build common vision of global affairs with the Nigerian government 7. The Chinese government constantly pursued these policies with vigor and some success was achieved for institute three percent of China s oil import came from Nigeria. Chinese Multinational Companies (MNCs) also won new significant contracts in Nigeria during this period particularly in construction 9
10 telecommunication power and transport, while the volume of Chinese manufactured goods exported to Nigeria rose dramatically. By the end of 2008, according to Chinese sources, total Chinese investment in Nigeria stood at six billion dollars 8. Despite the benefit which the two countries derived form this bilateral relationship, analysts have argued that the relationship between Nigeria and China was complex and was never going to be straight forward. Nigerian officials have noted that there is an unbalanced system in Nigeria-China relations in which the Chinese world become the dominant power while Nigeria would lack the capacity to exert her influence in political dealings 9. Similar short comings existed in the area of technology transfer and job creation for Nigerian citizen-public officials outside the foreign affairs sectors complained that although Chinese business men were more attractive partners because the development gap is less daunting than with the west actual technological transfer and job creation was low because the Chinese imported their own labour to Nigeria 10. This created a debate among the public officials about how Nigerian s relation with China could be better managed. From the foregoing, it appears that Abuja-Beijing bilateral relations were cordial between 1999 and 2009 except for a few instances where Nigerians complained about poor Chinese labour policy and Chinese substandard goods. 10
11 However, from 2007 onward, Nigeria-Chinese relations faced a new challenge with the failed effort of President Olusegun Obasanjo to secure a third term in office. He campaigned for the late President Umar Musa Yar Adua who was eventually elected the President in Yar Adua, however, continued to review all the agreement signed between Nigeria and China which mostly resulted either in the suspension or cancellation of these contracts. Between 2007 and 2009, Abuja-Beijing relationship was not totally cooperative as some Chinese companies decided not to sign pact with the Federal Government any longer but rather would partner with State Government. Given this background, this research focuses on the Obasanjo s Oil for Infrastructures policy and the benefits which the Nigerian Government derived from this policy from 1999 to 2007 and proceeds to suggest possible solution to the ongoing imbalance in Nigeria-Chinese economic diplomacy since the assumption of President Yar Adua to power in Objectives of the Study The purpose of carrying out this research is to trace the historical development of Nigeria-Chinese relations from and then find out whether these have really influenced the bilateral relationship which now exist between the two countries since Nigeria s transition to civilian rule in Furthermore, the study seeks to provide relevant information on Nigeria s relationship with China in key areas such as bilateral trade, oil 11
12 and gas, power generation, rail transport system, road construction, communication, manufacturing and retail loan finance and general free trade zone. Other areas to be examined include politics, military and cultural bilateral relations between the two countries. Attention will also be given to the domestic factors that shaped China s relations with Nigeria and how Nigeria views the changing role of China on the African continents. Literature Review The foundation of Nigeria-China relations dates back to the early 1960 s when Chinese delegation visited Nigeria in 1964 seeking to establish diplomatic ties with the country. Ever since then, Scholars of foreign policy have produced research works on the bilateral relationship that exist between Nigeria and China. Review of related materials on Nigeria-China relations shows that there have been a cordial relations between the two countries except between 1967 and 1970 when China supported the Biafran forces by supplying them light arms against the Federal Military Government of Nigeria 13. However, for the purpose of this study, works relating to Nigeria- China relations between are reviewed. B. Bukarambe s (2005) Nigeria-China Relations The Unacknowledged Sino Dynamics, extensively focused on the key areas of Nigeria-China relations, such as multilateral organization etc, as factors driving the 12
13 relationship between China and Nigeria beginning from This work is useful to this study because it touches important areas that bring the two countries together. However, Bukarambe s work failed to address the areas of non-state actors that shape to a large extent, the relations between Nigeria and China. A. Ogunsanwo s (2008) A Tale of Two Giants Nigeria and China traced the relationship between Nigeria and China in the 1960 s and examined how the Civil War impacted negatively on the bilateral relations between the two countries. More attention was given to comparison of the policies adopted by the two countries towards each other especially during the military rule in Nigeria. Ogunsanwo also made attempt to discuss the modern nature of Nigeria-China relation with emphasis on Nigeria Oil and China Aid 15. Despite Ogunsanwo s attempt to chronicle the major event that occurred in Nigeria-China relations much is yet to be written on the major projects and pacts signed between Nigeria and China from 1999 to M.S. Gregory s (2009) Elephants, Ants and Super Powers: Nigeria s Relations with China is acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive study on Nigeria-China relations. Gregory considers economic and political relations between Nigeria and China as the most important aspects in the study of the two countries bilateral relations up to year the rest of Gregory s work centered on the sectorial relations starting with the critical oil and gas sector, and followed by power generating, rail transport, construction, communication, manufacturing and financial sectors
14 However, areas yet to be covered in Gregory s work in the view of Nigerians towards Chinese goods-most of which are inferior and substantial. Moreover, the grand strategy of China in Nigeria especially in the oil sector. Another important work is Pat Utomi s (2008) China and Nigeria which examined the evolution of trade and diplomatic ties between Nigeria and China particularly from 1999 to Utomi s work covered key economic issues that were left untouched by other writers especially the non-state actors in the economic relations between the two countries, under study 17. Although, Utomi s work did not look at some important areas i.e. military, culture, politics etc his work is useful in providing details on the short comings of the relationship between Nigeria and China from 1999 to Despite the limitation identified in these works, they are useful on the existing bilateral relations between Nigeria and China from This study therefore seeks to fill the gap created by these early researchers on Nigeria-China relationship from 1999 to Scope of the Study This study focuses on Nigeria s China s relations references from bilateral relations which existed between 1964 and The research will cover key areas in Nigeria-China relations which include the economy, political, military and cultural sectors. However, the research will be limited to the bilateral relations between the two countries to a decade covering 1999 to
15 Significance of the Study This study will enhance our general historical knowledge of the bilateral relations between Nigeria and China especially in the areas of bilateral trade, politics, military etc. Research Methodology This study adopts the historical method which involves making use of primary sources which include interview, government publications, official documents relating to Nigeria-China relations from 1999 to Moreover, this study depends on secondary sources such as books, journals, conference proceedings and internet sources which are to be explored to enrich this work. 15
