Investing In Nigeria.
Whether you are considering business expansion or new emerging market investment opportunities, Nigeria should be top of mind as your investment destination of choice.
With a population of 155 million people, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a GDP second only to South Africa’s.

U.S. FDI in Nigeria is concentrated largely in the petroleum/mining and wholesale trade sectors. Exxon-Mobil and Chevron are the two largest U.S. corporate players in offshore oil and gas production.
Nigeria possesses many positive attributes for carefully targeted investment and will expand as both a regional and international market player. Profitable niche markets outside the energy sector, such as specialized telecommunication providers, have developed under the government's reform program.
