The Minister of Foreign Affairs, GEOFFREY ONYEAMA, stated this during a joint news conference with the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs in Abuja.
ONYEAMA said Nigeria had withdrawn all diplomatic relations with Taiwan as a country, adding that Taiwanese office in Abuja would be shut down and be relocated to Lagos.
He said Nigeria recognised the People’s Republic of China as country because Nigeria was one the leading African nations that fought for China to reclaim its seat at the UN Security Council from Taiwan.
He said the step being taken was to right the wrong done in the past.
