The learning of Chinese language in the country continues to gain mileage as the 15th Chinese Corner established in secondary schools within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja as part of the learning and cultural exchange between Nigeria and China.
The corners are built within 15 different secondary schools in the FCT.
The “Chinese Corner” is not only an immersive classroom for learning Chinese and experiencing Chinese culture, but also a window to observe the world as the Chinese language is the one of the most spoken language in the world.
Speaking at the launch of the 15th Chinese Corner at the Government Secondary School, Nyanya which is coming up about 24 hours after the inauguration of the 14th on Tuesday, Dr. Danlami Hayyo,
FCT Mandate Secretary for Education, said that the initiative is a remarkable feat that underscores the strength of China-Nigeria bilateral relations.
While commending the Chinese authorities, Hayyo assured them that the facilities “will be fully utilized for the benefit of both our students and teachers. They will enrich the teaching and learning process, broaden cultural awareness, and equip our students with valuable knowledge of both the Chinese people and our Nigerian heritage.”
He also thanked the China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGC), led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Che Yuan, for donating the Chinese Corner to Government Secondary School, Nyanya, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility.
On his part, CGC Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Che Yuan assured Nigeria of the company’s commitment to providing reliable, high-quality infrastructure in the FCT.
“Furthermore, we are delighted to support the educational sector in the FCT and are dedicated to offering our contributions to education throughout Nigeria.
“We are very pleased to have participated in the construction of the “Chinese Corner” at GSS Nyanya. Today, with the completion of the “Chinese Corner “classroom, we hope that more children can study here, enjoy the process of learning, and gain more knowledge, thereby adding new chapters to the cultural exchange and friendship between China and Nigeria,” he said.
