<blockquote><p>&#8220;So now the (Chinese) central government has decided to send a high-level group of criminal investigation experts with real expertise,&#8221; said Cui Jianchun, the Chinese ambassador to Nigeria.</p>
<p>&#8220;They come to Nigeria and talk to the people and the government about how they can work together to tackle the difficulty they are facing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Mr. Jianchun made the announcement on Wednesday, December 15, in Abuja, while interacting with journalists on the sidelines of the China-Nigeria friendship award ceremony for Ahmadu Bello University Zaria students on October 1.</p>
<p>Mr. Jianchun explained that China&#8217;s move was part of its support for addressing Nigeria&#8217;s worsening insecurity.</p>
<p>The security professionals would arrive in Nigeria soon, according to the Chinese embassy.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr Jianchun continued: &#8220;The Chinese central government is deeply concerned about the security situation in Nigeria, as well as the Chinese nationals living there. We&#8217;re working hard to figure out how to get China&#8217;s help.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel it truly concerns every Nigerian, and I believe it is not only about the Nigerian people and government, but we also require international assistance.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The vice-chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, Kabiru Bala, thanked the Chinese government for its assistance.</p>
