What foreign investors fear most is not being able to repatriate profits as at when do and this is the biggest undoing of the present administration.
Maybe if you miraculously create forex in the central bank's reserves, then the present administration wouldnt have a hard time providing forex to foreign investors to repatriate their profits.

Truth234:
The trade relations between Nigeria and China declined in 2016 to a record low, according to the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Zhou Pingjian.

According to the Ambassador, Nigeria-China trade relations was $15 billion in 2015, but has since dropped to $3.1 billion in 2016. Pushing Nigeria down to fourth position from the second largest Africa-China trade partner.

Pingjian, who visited the House of Representatives Committee on Nigeria-China Relations said “Nigeria-China trade is declining fast. Nigeria used to be China’s number two trade partner in Africa, but it’s now number four.”

He however expressed confidence that the situation can be improved upon with focus and implementation of policy agreements reached by the two countries and commended Nigeria for supporting the ‘One China Policy’. “We need to follow up on the outcomes of the Forum of China-Africa Cooperation summit and President Muhammad Buhari’s state visit to China in April last year”, he said.

The ambassador disclosed that one of the fall-outs of the president’s visit was the construction of the Agricultural Training Centre in Bwari, Abuja by CGCOC to assist Nigeria’s diversification efforts.

Pingjian said with over $139 billion Foreign Direct Investment, China is interested and ready to expand investment in Nigeria and urged the government to create enabling environment for investors to come in.

“As Chinese ambassador to Nigeria, I wish a small part of the $139 billion could come to Nigeria”, he said, adding that as an ambassador he was willing to facilitate it.

Pingjian reiterated China’s commitment to Nigeria’s economic revival and as well as readiness to support the nation’s economic diversification efforts.

Similarly, CGCOC Group Managing Director, Ye Shuijin who called for improved security in the country, noted that Chinese firms in Nigeria were ready to make greater contribution to the socio-economic development of the country.

Shuijin, who also doubled as Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce in Nigeria expressed the need for the establishment of a Strategic Master Plan by Nigeria and China to fast track industrialisation of the country.

“We have more than 20 industrial zones in Nigeria, we have funds abroad that can be brought into Nigeria for investment but it has to be strategically done”, he said.

The MD disclosed that in 2008 CGCOC ventured into mechanised farming in Wara, Kebbi State and today the company is one of the leading producers of rice accounting for about 50 per cent of rice production in Nigeria.

SIlly, why wont it decline, when you guys make it vertually impossible for Nigerians to go and trade in Chima without spending arm and leg.Make it easy in such a way that once I have my cash I can get my Biz Visa to go and do my Biz and come back,why do I need an invite from a coy in china to get your Biz viz from Nigeria

There was never a trade balance so if the trade decline that much, it might be good for the economy.

Unfortunately, this does not tell the whole story. I would like to know the Import and Export component of such trade. If trade has gone down because Nigerians are IMPORTING less from China now and beginning to look inwards for self-sufficiency, then I think it is a positive rather than negative.

If the Chinese wants more trade, let them send money this way.
Nah it might also mean we have found more cheaper and less stressful countries to do biz with, ie Turkey,Malaysia and India

So importing tooth pick is good for the economy ?

Don't worry. import everything and expect miracle.

Source another millions of dollar FX to bring in tooth pick. When Naira becomes 1thousand to a dollar, you will wake up.

Min of 500k is chicken change if all the money The likes of Fayose and co stole is invested in that space. we are talking about less pressure on the dollar, more jobs etc.

if you invest N10M just to produce tooth pick, how many years do you think you will brake even? and you will end up selling one pack for N5k who will buy it? dont this tell you we should allow market forces to dictate for us instead of applying science where there is no science?

Mr Man, stop misleading people. Check youtube and see for yourself how toothpick is made. It's a very simple process. I don't know the 5 machines you are talking about. Just looking for some bloody excuse.

Nope. Ironically, thinking out of the box should mean alternative to IMPORT.

There should be embargo on some importation.

If there was no policy to stop importation of cement back then, cement will be one of the things we spend dollar on.

It as initially expensive but how much is a bag of Cement now ?

Dangote is even in other African countries already with the same cement from here.

You cnt open your border for every nonsense to be imported and not hope to have dollar shortage some day.

it is not science it is actually common sense if one understand the basics.

For argument sake,

if we make 200 billion dollars from selling oil every month and we need 250 billion dollars to import everything including something as ridiculous as tooth pick, you dnt have to be a professor to know the impact of the dollar deficit in the economy.

import and export argument is a no brainer that needs no stressing.


When you compare UK importing tooth pick to Nigeria, i actually wonder.

Apart from crude oil, can you point our major source of Forex ? but u want to compare with UK that export.

The top exports of the United Kingdom are Cars, Gold, Crude Petroleum, Refined Petroleum and Packaged Medicaments etc. in tens of billions of dollars.
