Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, has stated that more Nigerian women will benefit from China-Nigeria high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
He made this known during the 2025 International Women’s Day (IWD) celebration in Abuja, themed “Her Story and Future,” which aligns with the United Nations’ IWD theme: “For All Women and Girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment.”
Yu emphasised that gender should not be a barrier to human progress, adding that equal access to education and resources enables women to shape history and drive development.
He said: “Over the years, practical cooperation between China and Nigeria has deepened across various fields, providing many Nigerian women with better medical resources, more agricultural skills, and increased business and entrepreneurial opportunities.
“The positive development of China-Nigeria relations is inseparable from the direct participation and active promotion of women from both countries in various sectors.”
