Sino-Africa and Technological Transfer. Implication on Sustainable Development in Nigeria

      Аннотация: Technology transfer is crucial for industrialization and economic development, but it is often overlooked in China-Africa relations. Foreign direct investment is vital for technology transfer and economic growth in developing countries like Nigeria. This book explores the implications of Sino-Africa and technological transfer on sustainable development in Nigeria. The study uses interpretivism philosophy and qualitative data analysis. This book, therefore, provides an exposition to the Nigerian government and foreign direct investors in critical areas such as agriculture, manufacturing, military, industry, education and other social sectors through Technological Transfer (TT) and Technical Cooperation (TC) that will aid knowledge sharing and transfer for the purpose of improving the economy. The findings suggest that the Nigerian government cannot adequately absorb new technology from Chinese multinational corporations, as most of these corporations are agents of FDI or contractors.
