Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Nigeria-China Parliamentary Relations, Hon. Jaafaru Yakubu, has reaffirmed Nigeria\u2019s unwavering commitment to the One-China Principle, emphasizing that Taiwan remains an inseparable part of the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC).<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, Yakubu warned against any actions that could undermine the longstanding diplomatic ties between Nigeria and China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He particularly criticized calls for the relocation of Taiwan\u2019s Trade Office from Lagos to Abuja, calling it a direct challenge to Nigeria\u2019s official position on the One-China policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been closely monitoring the statements made by Andy Yih-Ping Liu, which have intensified in recent weeks. These remarks risk creating unnecessary diplomatic friction between Nigeria and China,\u201d Yakubu stated.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that Nigeria fully recognizes the One-China Principle as the bedrock of its diplomatic engagement with Beijing,.<\/p>\n

He said the recent media engagements and strategic visits by Liu appear to be deliberate attempts to strain bilateral relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain resolute in upholding the One-China policy. Any efforts to reposition Taiwan\u2019s Trade Office beyond its current function in Lagos will be resisted through appropriate diplomatic and legislative channels,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Hon. Jaafaru further emphasized that China-Nigeria relations have flourished significantly, yielding notable achievements in trade, investment, infrastructure, technology, and human capital development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bilateral relationship between China and Nigeria has deepened since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1971. In 2024, we upgraded our partnership to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership at the FOCAC Summit in Beijing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, Nigeria is China\u2019s second-largest trading partner in Africa, with trade volumes exceeding $20 billion,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged China\u2019s crucial role in Nigeria\u2019s infrastructure development, highlighting major investments in rail networks, roads, ports, power projects, and water treatment facilities.<\/p>\n

Yakubu reaffirmed that Nigeria would continue to strengthen its relationship with China while ensuring that diplomatic principles guiding the partnership remain respected.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
