3. Hon. Chairman, sir, this forum is routine visit and engagement with our critical stakeholders having visited the Economic Counselor at the Chinese Embassy two months ago, which has started impacting positively on the Council. The Nigeria–China Business Council is a non-governmental established by the governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the People’s Republic of China for seamless promotion of trade, Investment and industrial development between the two countries.

4. The Council was established following the successful hosting of the First Nigeria–China Trade and Investment Forum, held on 9th November, 2009. The then Vice President in the person of His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan, GCON unveiled the logo of NCBC during the opening ceremony, which was followed by signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between both countries on 10th November, 2009 at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.

One of such landmark achievements, is the skyrun investment group that has become a household name in electronics, computers and electrical appliances.

6. Nigeria and China enjoys harmonious economic and trade relationships which no doubts have been in favour of China,though not without hitches and politicking. Despite the deficit in the balance of trade between the two countries, Nigeria continues to patronize and regards China as its largest trade partner. Therefore, we are here to solicit processes through legislative machinery to strengthen trade balance between the two countries. One, by promoting Made-in- Nigeria goods in China; and encourage more Nigerians to invest or do business in China as well as revisit the policy of currency swap between the Nigerian (Naira) and the Chinese (Yuan) to facilitate trade and investment between the two countries.

7. Moving Forward, Honourable Chairman, sir, the Council’s structure in promoting linkages between Nigeria and China in trade and investment opportunities will require your wealth of experience to further strengthen the Council to deliver on its mandates in the aforesaid relationships between the two countries. Therefore, the Council is requesting that you offer your services as the Chairman (Nigerian side) of the Council.

Prayers:

i. Need for more robust relationship between NCBC and the

National Assembly Committee on Relationship with China;

ii. Use legislative process to promote our relationships and

facilitate trade, investment and industrial development with

China; and

iii. Solicit the support of the Chairman to organize a one-day

consultative roundtable on improving doing business with

and in china, Currency swap, and image building between

the two countries.
