Tobi and I examine what we believe is the real “China Shock”: the redirection of export demand that might otherwise have gone to the United States toward Nigeria and other markets. We trace the economic and geopolitical consequences of that shift and outline practical policy and strategic responses a country like Nigeria could adopt to capture opportunity and manage disruption.
Key topics covered
How export displacement works and why Nigeria is a likely beneficiary
Policy responses Nigeria should consider to sustain industrial growth and build resilience
Geopolitical implications for the two competing superpowers and for regional trade dynamics
