The Nigerian government has done a lot to improve the investment environment since the civilian government led by President Olusegun Obasanjo came into power in May 1999. The Chinese province-level trade delegation, headed by Vice Governor of Hebei Province, Guo Shichang, is currently visiting the west African country to explore trade and investment opportunities. |
