This paper explores the dynamics of demand and supply of Chinese language education in Nigeria. It highlights the motivations behind increased demand, such as economic opportunities and cultural exchange, and investigates how Nigerian institutions have responded. Drawing on existing literature, surveys, and observational data, the study reveals a growing interest in learning Chinese but also uncovers gaps in institutional capacity, qualified teachers, and standardized curricula. Recommendations include strategic policy planning, increased investment in teacher training, and stronger collaboration with Chinese educational institutions.
