This study explores the governance perceptions of stakeholders regarding Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) activities in Nigeria. The aim is to gain insights into stakeholders' perspectives on various governance dimensions, including transparency and accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, participation and inclusiveness, the rule of law and legal frameworks, social and environmental impact, and stakeholder engagement. Thematic qualitative analysis is applied to the collected data to identify emerging themes and patterns in stakeholders' perceptions of Chinese FDI activities. By analyzing stakeholders' perspectives, this research provides valuable insights into the governance challenges and opportunities related to Chinese FDI in Nigeria.
The findings include valuable insights into stakeholders' viewpoints, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of governance dynamics and areas of improvement in Chinese FDI activities in Nigeria. The findings enhance governance frameworks and promote sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships between China and Nigeria. The study contributes to the existing literature on governance perception and provides practical implications for enhancing governance practices and stakeholder engagement in Chinese FDI projects.
