CGCC in Nigeria Denies Discrimination Allegations, Emphasizes Friendship Between Countries

The China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) in Nigeria has addressed allegations of discrimination against Nigerians, particularly in relation to access to the Chinese supermarket located within the Royal Choice Estate on Airport Road, Abuja.

The CGCC’s Secretary, Cui Guangzheng, stated that no individual was subjected to discrimination or denied access to the estate or supermarket.

Guangzheng reiterated the commitment of the chamber to ensuring equality and inclusiveness, emphasizing the importance of enhancing friendship between the people of Nigeria and China, as well as promoting economic development.

The statement comes after a video was posted by an unidentified FCT resident, claiming that a Nigerian was denied access to the premises, alleging that citizens were not allowed into the supermarket.

The CGCC clarified that the supermarket is located in the residential area of the estate and is one of several enterprises using the facility.

The chamber expressed regret over any altercation at the estate’s entrance gate between the security personnel and a customer, emphasizing that it does not reflect the official position of the estate management or the chamber of commerce.

When officials from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) visited the supermarket, it was found to be under lock and key.

This situation has raised questions about the veracity of the allegations
