Abstract

Principally, this study was designed to explore the political economy of Nigeria-China economic relations between 1999 till date, with the aim of ascertaining how trade and investment fared between these countries within the period under review. Hence, this study is directed at ascertaining whether the growing Nigeria-China economic relations is implicated in the increase in China’s trade investment in Nigeria and to establish if China’s increasing economic interest is implicated in the volume of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria. The study anchored its analysis on the Dependency theory. The study employed the qualitative method and ex-post-facto research design. Data for this study were sourced from books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and internet document. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, logical induction and content analysis. After a critical analysis of available data and literature, the study revealed the need for the Nigeria state to develop its technological base and boost its negotiation capacity so as to maximize the benefits in the country’s economic relations with China. Equally, it shows there is need to diversify Nigerian economy; exports and dependence on oil exports be balanced with other resources untapped; the local industries in Nigeria should be given home grown policy protection in order to compete favourably with the Chinese manufacturers to boost industrialization efforts.
