Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai Attends the Launching Ceremony of “Nihao! China” Program by Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria

In July 10, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai attended the launching ceremony of "Nihao(Hello)! China" program and delivered remarks, with nearly 100 guests from various sectors, including Director-General of FRCN, Dr. Mohammad Bulama, Director of China Cultural Center in Nigeria, Counsellor Yang Jianxing, Chinese and Nigerian staff and journalists.

Ambassador Yu noted that China-Nigeria relations are enjoying strong momentum, with flourishing and fruitful people-to-people exchanges. As 2026 marks the Year of China-Africa People-to-People Exchanges, the launch of the "Nihao! China"program comes at an opportune moment. It will provide Nigerian audiences with a new platform to learn Chinese and better understand China, while injecting lasting impetus into mutually beneficial China-Nigeria economic and trade cooperation.

Director-General Bulama remarked that "Nihao! China"program ushers in a new chapter in China-Nigeria cultural and media cooperation. It is a concrete step in implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state last year. Proficiency in Chinese, he added, will offer Nigeria a major linguistic advantage in its development.

The two sides then jointly inaugurated the program and were interviewed by Chinese and Nigerian media.
