The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the group, Moses Ayom said in Abuja that the language centre will aid Nigerian traders and tourists learn the language of China, which is emerging as a major economic superpower.
He said: “As a recipient of the prestigious award of Outstanding Advocate of China/Nigeria Relations, I feel duty-bound to be at the forefront of this effort. We shall establish on this premises a Mandarin Language Center to aid Nigerian traders and tourists learn the language of the most dominant world economic power.”
