Kano, the largest city in Northern Nigeria, has experienced tremendous and unprecedented urban growth since the late 10th Century, following the emergence of the city as one of the oldest and most prominent urban centers for Trans-Saharan trade that linked Sub-Saharan Africa with North Africa, Northern Arab, and other European countries. The city’s rapid urbanization is mainly attributed to the influx of people as a result of socio-economic trading activities. However, the inability of relevant government authorities to actively respond to the city’s rapid urbanization, coupled with the demographical and spatial expansion, has contributed to the enormous contemporary challenges. Therefore, the present study examined the various challenges faced due to the tremendous urbanization in Kano city, Nigeria. The study identified the city’s challenges to include infrastructure decay, environmental pollution, problem of urban mobility and traffic congestion, unemployment, and increased crime rates. It also analyzed the implementation of several strategies and initiatives of the relevant government authorities in tackling these problems while carefully recommending further solutions aimed at addressing these contemporary challenges. This is with a view of having a cosmopolitan city that continuously attracts the inflow of populace due to its socio-economic status without jeopardizing the city’s sustainable growth.

“…The textile industry in Nigeria experienced significant growth in the 1970s and 80s, but its decline began when Beijing began exporting its cheap textiles to Nigeria. By 2008, almost 160 textile factories in Nigeria were closed down, and it was a severe blow to the Nigerian textile economy (Muhammad et al 2017). This led to the rise of The volume of arms Algeria, Tanzania, Nigeria, Morocco, Sudan, and the rest of Africa got from China over the last decade are of 29.4% (928 million TIV), 10.9% (343 million TIV), 10.4% (328 million TIV), 9.1% (289 million TIV), 8.1% (255 million TIV) and 32.2% (1,018 million TIV) respectively (China Power 2021).…”

China’s Geo-Economic Interest in Africa: A Short Overview

The article examines China's geo-economic interest in Africa. China intends to exercise its leverage over both coastal frontiers for trade and defense and its hinterland for rich mineral, metal, and fossil deposits. Furthermore, the debt trap seems to be one of the methods through which China intended to bargain with Africa to bag as much advantage as it could gain. The question that emerges from this critical engagement with China-Africa relations is to look into how the reality of Africa's narrative of development is projected both from outside and within and the contradiction embodied in that projection. China used the narrative of development to set its feet on African soil. This paper discusses China's penetration into Africa by offering interest-free loans and its gradual emergence as a neocolonial power through expanding its network. The method used in the study to establish China's monopoly and interfering streak in African affairs through BRI is the analysis of available data based on which the objectives and the conclusions are drawn.

“…Clearly the period of the greatest de-industrialization in the textile sector occurred prior to the large surge in imports from China. To suggest as Muhammed et al (2017) do that Nigerian textile production was in a healthy state until the Chinese came along is simply untrue. Clearly the Renne (2015) argument which points to the severe decline in the sector prior to the surge of Chinese imports is accurate.…”

China-Africa and an Economic TransformationPraise for the book 'This book's accessible up-to-date assessment on the evolving trade and investment relations between China and Africa is a welcome contribution to a field that is under-studied. The asymmetry in Africa-China relations is recognised and honestly addressed, including insights into governance arrangements. Lin and Oqubay's book is academically rigorous, and also offers immensely practical guidance to Chinese and African stakeholders on how to build this partnership going forward.' Dr Miriam Altman, PhD, Commissioner in the South African National Planning Commission 'This is an extremely important volume. In the chatter on China and Africa, the Chinese and Africans are the very ones often left out. The editors themselves represent a departure from "being spoken to" by a Western world with its own distinct interests. They have assembled a set of chapters of deep insights into collaboration in specific countries and which speak to a complex situation that indicates a changed world because of China and Africa.' Stephen Chan OBE, Professor of World Politics, SOAS University of London 'This book comes at a critical moment in China-Africa relations, as both sides explore ways to reach their partnership potential. The 2018 FOCAC Beijing Summit launched an ambitious cooperation agenda in support of Africa's development, as encapsulated in Agenda 2063. We also agreed to advance shared priorities on the global stage. The African Union is committed to working with China on our joint objectives towards "building an even stronger community with a shared future". As we move forward, this book, which brings together various intellectual contributions, is a useful resource that captures the concrete achievements of this partnership and highlights the opportunities for even greater impact to the benefit of the two partners.' Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission 'Arkebe Oqubay and Justin Yifu Lin have assembled a range of eminent scholars from across the globe to update the debate on one of Africa's partners that is here to stay: China. African countries' relations with China are evolving, solidifying, intensifying and diversifyingand they require constant learning and adaptation to understand. With this nuanced book, the authors illustrate that Chinese engagement is no panacea to African countries' development, yet the Chinese positive narrative of Africa is a fresh wind from the east that can be harnessed for home-grown strategic action. A key read for scholars and policy-makers alike!' Sven Grimm, Head of Programme at German Development Institute and Associate Professor, Stellenbosch University 'A must reada brilliant up-to-date review of Africa-China economic relationships and how they have evolved over the last 25 years, during the surge of China's own development. The book analyses how Africa-China relationships contrast with past and present Africa's economic relationship with the West, bringing out the positives and new opportunities of ...
