From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The People’s Republic of China, on Tuesday, visited the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and renewed its commitment to participate fully in tackling poverty in Nigeria.
The Chinese government explained that it will tackle poverty by investing in youth empowerment through basic training and entrepreneurship development.
Chinese Ambassador, HE Yu Dunhai, renewed the commitment when he led a delegation to meet with the APC national leadership in Abuja, noting that the Asian giant has already lifted millions of its citizens from poverty and would readily assist Nigeria to do the same for its teeming population.
He further disclosed that the nation’s main political party, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has grown its membership officially beyond 50 million members, offering to partner with Nigeria in deepening civil rule in the country.

He explained that the acceptance of the CPC has made the party the largest in Asia, just as the APC has become “the biggest party in Africa.”
The envoy also commended the growing economic and bilateral relations between Nigeria and the People’s Republic of China, stressing that President Bola Tinubu’s recent visit to China further cemented the diplomatic ties, which he hopes will grow from strength to strength.
China is regarded as an Asian giant due to its large population, vast territory, and significant economic influence within the Asian continent, making it one of the most powerful and prominent countries in the region.
In his response to the remarks by the Ambassador, Ganduje commended the envoy for finding time to visit the APC national headquarters.
While expressing delight over the commitment of the Chinese Ambassador to empower Nigerian youths, Ganduje also commended China: “for the cultural and economic exchanges already enjoyed by Nigerian youths.”
