Cui Jianchun, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, made this known on Wednesday in Abuja in a chat with journalists, stating that the security experts were expected to arrive in Nigeria soon.

“China’s central government is really concerned about the security situation in Nigeria and also the Chinese Nationals in Nigeria.
