Abstract

The study sets out to examine Chinese going global policy in Nigeria in the context of the four key strategic objectives of the policy- resource seeking, market seeking, asset seeking and political gains- and how these have had some neo-colonial ramifications on the Nigerian state, based on the degree to which the Nigerian state asserts its agency in its relations with the Chinese State. By adopting a qualitative case study research design, documentary method of data collection, and theory of neo-colonialism, the study discovered that Chinese infrastructure aid and investment packages to Nigeria have aided the achievement of the Chinese strategic objectives in its going global policy to the detriment of Nigeria’s political and economic independence in a neo-colonial fashion, with little or no remediation from the Nigerian state or its agency. The study concludes and recommends that China and other great powers will continue to have a neo-colonial experimentation with Nigeria if it fails to assert its agency with such powers.
