Why not Nigeria

A large, dynamic market offers abundant resources and growing opportunities across key sectors. Reforms, investment incentives, and a strategic location connect investors to Africa’s expanding economy.

Currency Wheel

FDI inflows

Nigeria attracted over $26 billion in foreign direct investment in 2024, making it sub-Saharan Africa's largest recipient of FDI. Investor confidence is rising across energy, technology, and agribusiness.

Policy reforms

A sweeping programme of structural reforms is reshaping Nigeria's investment climate. These reforms range from foreign exchange unification and petroleum deregulation to new digital economy legislation and expanded tax incentives for priority sectors.

Investment opportunities

Explore investment sectors NIGERIA has to offer.

Agriculture

Agriculture

Nigeria ranks first in Africa for farm output, with 70M+ hectares of arable land and only 20% under cultivation. A $6.6B food import gap and strong global export demand define a compelling investment opportunity across the full agricultural value chain.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure

Nigeria's $100B+ infrastructure deficit constrains every sector of the economy. The NIIMP identifies $2.3T in investment requirements through 2043. InfraCorp blended finance, Senate-approved borrowing, and AfDB co-investment de-risk entry for private capital at scale.

Creative Economy

Creative Economy

Nollywood is the world's second-largest film industry by volume. Afrobeats accumulated 2.2B+ Spotify streams in 2024. Nigeria's $6.4B creative economy (projected to reach $15B) is attracting institutional capital from Netflix, Universal Music Group, and Afreximbank.

Solar Panel in Nature

Energy

427 GW solar potential. 209 TCF of proven gas reserves, Africa's largest. 86M Nigerians off-grid. Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan targets 277 GW of total installed capacity by 2060, creating one of the world's most compelling energy investment landscapes across hydropower, solar, and natural gas.

Healthcare

Healthcare

Nigeria spends $1B+ annually on medical tourism abroad. With an NGN 2.48T health budget in 2025, a 70% pharmaceutical import rate, and under 9% health insurance coverage, the healthcare investment gap represents one of Africa's most urgent and commercially attractive frontiers.

ICT

Information & Communication Technology

Nigeria's ICT sector contributes 18.9% of GDP, nearly four times oil. The country accounts for 28% of Africa's fintechs, 76% of which are profitable. A $1.6B national broadband investment and 90% mobile penetration underpin Africa's most dynamic digital economy.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

The world's largest single-train petroleum refinery, a $603B consumer goods market by 2030, Made in Nigeria policy support, and AfCFTA access to 54 nations are converging to make Nigeria a compelling manufacturing destination for the first time in a generation.

Transportation

Transportation

Nigeria's logistics costs run 40–60% of production costs, versus a 15–20% global benchmark. The NIIMP allocates $575B to transport through 2043. The 2023 Constitutional Amendment enabling state-level railways, highway concession frameworks, and Lekki Deep Sea Port define the entry landscape.

Minerals

Mining

Nigeria holds $700B+ in largely unexplored solid mineral deposits across 32 states, yet mining contributes less than 1% of GDP. Lithium, gold, iron ore, and critical battery minerals, combined with government reform and 25% projected returns, define a first-mover window.
