Chima Onuoha2 1Doctoral Candidate, Department of Management, University of Port Harcourt | Email: [email protected] 2Professor of Management, Department of Management, University of Port Harcourt | Email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper inspects the Impact of Chinese Investment on Trade Development in Nigeria. The engagement among Nigeria and China depends more on economic ties, trade, investment and finance than on political affinity. There has been some evidence that Nigeria had made positive upgrades which have been profoundly appealing to overseas investors, especially the Chinese investors. For this to continue, it was recommended that Nigeria’s priority should be to build up the ability to better its own policies towards China’s engagement and also see China’s engagement gives it an opportunity to expand its trade. Keywords: Nigeria, China, Trade and Investment, Lagos, Kano INTRODUCTION Over the previous decades the volume of exchange between countries of the globe has considerably increased. Especially, Nigeria has seen a sharp ascent in trade and investment with other countries. The relations among Nigeria and the people’s republic of China, which cuts across trade, investment, political aid and military spheres have tremendously grown in recent years (Omoju and Adesanya, 2012). China’s first contact with Nigeria, unofficially, started in the 1950s, precisely 1957. Nigeria’s contact with China was through Egypt.

    TOWN UNION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: CONTRIBUTIONS OF NZUKO-AROCHUKWU TO THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROWTH OF AROCHUKWU, 1981-2017 EMEJULU, Ifeyinwa Department of History and International Studies Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka And OKAFOR, Henry Ikenna Department of History and International Studies Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract Attempts on community development have been viewed from top-bottom approach, this is responsible for the little gains recorded with national programmes towards community development; hence the need for community participation. This study focuses on the contributions of Nzuko-Arochukwu to the socio-economic growth of Arochukwu. This umbrella body of the Aro has played a pivotal role in the infrastructural, economic, social and political transformation of Arochukwu, a society with rich historical and cultural narratives. Just like other towns in Igbo land, the impact of the Nigerian - Biafra war on Arochukwu was severe leading to massive infrastructural decay. The study appraises the concept of community development using the workings of Nzuko-Arochukwu to explore the prospects of town unions and their challenges in developing their communities. The study used the qualitative method based on critical analysis of events from facts available to the researchers emphasizing the combination of primary and secondary sources which include the use of books and journals. The study adopted the community action theory modeled by Paulo Freire which emphasizes on mobilization for community

  • History and Contexts of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Aba – Recounting the Stories of Residents
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Queen Margaret University eResearch History and Contexts of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Aba – Recounting the stories of residents Stanley Nwankpa (Corresponding Author) Division of Psychology, Sociology and Education Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh EH21 6UU Tel. 0131 474 0000 Eurig Scandrett Division of Psychology, Sociology and Education Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh EH21 6UU Tel. 0131 474 0000 Abstract To review the history of MSW management in a place, authors often review the development drivers of MSW management and or how such drivers have affected MSW management policy or practice in the place. This study focuses on the lived experiences of the residents. The researchers believe that a phenomenological review of the lived experiences of long term residents of the city of Aba, provide unique and more useful account of the development of MSW management in the city especially in the absence of any significant development in the methods and or processes of managing MSW. It is also recommended that similar methods be utilised in reviewing the development of MSW management in similar cities in Nigeria and other cities in Sub Saharan Africa. The study finds that over the period in review, the process of MSW management in Aba has remained rudimentary, primarily consisting of evacuation of refuse from one point to another without any form of treatment or processing. Responses from participants of this study – drawn from an extended peer community of long-term residents of the city, suggest that except for a period between 2013 and 2014, the overall MSW management situation in the city have worsened.
