This comes as part of the growing naval cooperation between the two countries, with three Chinese warships docking in Nigerian ports.
Chinese Warships’ Visit:

One of the warships, the destroyer Nanning, berthed in Lagos, while the Chinese embassy in Nigeria announced that the warships would depart on Wednesday.
Comparison to US Warship Visit:
Sani highlighted that the presence of Chinese warships in Nigerian waters should not be a cause for concern.
He pointed out that a few months ago, a United States warship also visited Nigeria.
This suggests that as an independent nation, Nigeria has the freedom to engage with any country and establish relationships as it sees fit.
Conclusion:
Shehu Sani’s reaction to the arrival of Chinese warships in Nigeria emphasizes the country’s independence and its ability to engage with nations across the world.
