Summary
Doing business in Nigeria Lagos: oil, gas, minerals, agriculture, information and telecommunications, tourism, manufacturing, mining, infrastructures. FDI
Nigeria offers the market in sub-Saharan Africa, with a population of about 140
million people. The Nigerian market potential also stretches into the growing West African sub-region. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and the tenth
largest by population, in the world.
Nigeria, endowed with natural resources – huge deposit of oil & gas, bitumen and
other mineral resources, has had unpleasant experience of political instability, corruption, and poor macroeconomic management. Basic socio-economic
infrastructure is also inadequate.
The present administration, on assumption of office in May 1999, was convinced of the need for a drastic departure from the ‘business as usual’ syndrome in the
polity of the nation. Major steps had therefore been taken to reform both the investment environment and the act of doing business in the economy.
Government is also implementing a strategic shift of the economy
from
over-dependence on the capital-intensive oil sector, which provides 20% of GDP,
95% of foreign exchange earnings, and about 65% of budgetary revenues.
The largely subsistence agricultural sector is being rapidly empowered to
engineer a swift shift to mechanized farming capable of sustaining
export and
local consumption.
Nigeria is a leading petroleum producer and exporter. It is the 12th largest
producer of petroleum in the world and the 8th largest exporter. Nigeria also
has one of the world's largest proven natural gas and petroleum reserves and is
a founding member of OPEC.
