metadata.value: Nigeria no doubt is one of China’s largest markets in Africa. The negative influence Chinese
  interest in the Nigerian economy has on her energy sector and on development generally
  is alarming and the rural areas are mostly affected. Rural development is a sine qua non
  of sustainable national development. Nigerian markets are flooded with Chinese products
  ranging from generators to rechargeable lamps which are mostly needed to power industries
  and also generate electricity. Dependency theory provided the theoretical construct for this
  paper. It was observed that these products such as rechargeable lamps and generating sets
  may be a welcomed development to cushion the effect of epileptic power supply in the urban
  centres and lack of electricity in the rural areas but the spillover effects on the Nigerian
  economy cannot be overemphasised. The paper also discovered the unfortunate situation of
  how contracts are awarded to Chinese firms in regards to the energy sector. The question
  which must be critically examined is can a bone be given to a dog for safe keeping? Based
  on these findings, the paper recommends that the federal government should genuinely and
  aggressively pursue the issue of rural development especially in terms of rural electrification.
