Nigeria Eyes China’s Zero-Tariff Deal to Boost Local Exports

Nigeria is moving to narrow its trade gap with China by leveraging Beijing’s zero-tariff initiative. The country currently contributes only about $3 billion to a $28 billion bilateral trade volume, a situation deemed unsatisfactory by officials. In Beijing, Ambassador Abdulrahman Dambazau urged farmers, traders and exporters to study the scheme’s requirements and quality standards. He explained that understanding the policy conditions is key to unlocking new market opportunities. The Nigerian mission has begun consultations to guide stakeholders on how the initiative will operate. It will also partner with government agencies and private operators to boost production, add value and strengthen Nigeria’s position in the Chinese market.
