The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria has commissioned its 15th Chinese Corner at Government Secondary School, Nyanya, Abuja, as part of efforts to strengthen education, cultural exchange, and people-to-people diplomacy between the two countries.

The project, funded by CGC Nigeria Limited adds to a growing network of Chinese Corners established in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) since the initiative was launched in 2013. These centres serve as platforms for Nigerian students to learn Mandarin, access scholarships, and deepen their understanding of Chinese culture and education.

Speaking at the inauguration on Wednesday, the Cultural Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy, Mr. Yang Jianxing, described the Chinese Corner as “a bridge connecting us and Nigerian cultures, and a window for students to observe the world.” He noted that many students who engaged with the programme have gone on to secure Chinese government scholarships, study in China, or work with Chinese companies in Nigeria.

Yang commended CGC for funding and constructing the facility, praising the company’s “commitment to social responsibility and China–Nigeria friendship.”

Representing CGC Nigeria Ltd, Mr. Che Yuan underscored the importance of education in shaping the future of societies. “We are delighted to support the educational sector in the FCT and we are dedicated to offering our contributions in education throughout Nigeria,” he said, while reaffirming CGC’s long-standing partnership with the FCT administration.

The Director/Secretary of the FCT Secondary Education Board, Dr. Muhammed Sani Ladan, highlighted the historical significance of the initiative. He recalled that the first Chinese Corner was launched at Government Secondary School, Garki in 2013, with subsequent expansions across the city. He described the Embassy and CGC’s support as “a legacy written in gold in the annals of our history.”

Also speaking, the Secretary for Education in the FCT, Dr. Danlami Hayyo, emphasized the strategic role of the programme in opening global opportunities for Nigerian students. He announced that Mandarin has now been formally integrated into the senior secondary school curriculum in the FCT as one of the international languages.

“This is a visionary step,” Dr. Hayyo said, stressing Mandarin’s growing global relevance in trade, tourism, and education. He also acknowledged the People’s Education Press of China for donating learning materials and tailoring Chinese language programmes for Nigerian schools, ahead of the 2026 China–Africa Year of People-to-People Exchange and the 55th anniversary of Nigeria–China diplomatic relations.

The colourful ceremony featured cultural displays and performances by students, reflecting the richness of both Nigerian and Chinese traditions. It was attended by senior government officials, representatives of the Chinese Embassy, executives of CGC, principals, teachers, and students.
