Chinese President Xi Jinping's keynote address at the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit struck a chord with Nigerian youth this week, spotlighting tech partnerships and cultural exchanges between the two nations.
In Beijing's high-stakes diplomatic arena, Xi emphasized 'win-win cooperation' in infrastructure, green energy, and digital innovation – themes that resonated powerfully with young leaders like Duke Alamboye, president of a Nigerian youth organization.
'We're ready to walk hand-in-hand with China,' Alamboye told CGTN from the vibrant streets of Abuja. His enthusiasm mirrors Africa's Gen-Z drive for sustainable development – 60% of the continent's population is under 25.
As night markets in Lagos buzz with Chinese tech gadgets and Abuja startups adopt Shenzhen-inspired business models, this partnership hits home. 2024 marks 65 years of China-Nigeria diplomatic ties – a relationship now turbocharged by youth-driven innovation.
