​Some Chinese students have begun moves to take up degrees in Hausa.

The students who were at the Peking University’s International Culture Festival in Beijing which took place late October 2017, said, strengthening the relationship between Nigeria and China has become imperative as both governments need to focus on more people to people exchanges as well as developing economic partnerships.

One of the students Wu Dongjing, also known as Hafsatu (her adopted Hausa name) said she wants to learn Hausa to help communication between Nigeria and China.

Wu said: "Because I know that there are several communications between China and Nigeria, and I know that many Chinese have no knowledge of Nigeria, I want to gain more knowledge in order to help with communication between both countries."

“Actually, I have not been to Nigeria, but I know that in my level three (3) at university, we have the opportunity to go to Nigeria and I know that I will go to Nigeria and know more about this country,” she said.

Another student, Wu Lin, also known as Samira said she Hausa as a language has become interesting to her.
