JOHANNESBURG – China’s Exim bank will lend Nigeria $328 million towards improving the West African country’s telecoms infrastructure, Reuters reported.

Poor telecoms are a major challenge for businesses operating in Nigeria, which is Africa’s largest oil producer, most populous country and has one of the continent’s largest economies.
