About Nigeria

Nigeria, giant of Africa, has forged ahead as a united entity despite having about 250
ethnic groups. Having got its independence on October, 1, 1960, today, it has 36 states
and a Federal capital territory, Abuja. Lagos, the former capital, remains the country’s
commercial hub. Port Harcourt city, and indeed, most of the south-south states, serves as
the oil and gas hub of the country.

Despite political and religious differences among its people, Nigeria remains a land of
opportunities. Its natural resources include petroleum, natural gas, tin, columbite, iron ore,
coal, limestone, lead, zinc, hydropower and arable land. However, oil and gas account for
more than 90% of the country’s foreign exchange earnings. Agriculture, the
petrochemicals, power, rail transportation, refineries, infrastructures, manufacturing, etc.
have huge investment opportunities for the country.

910,768 square kilometers. The main ethnic groups are Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba but the
official language is English. Nigeria enjoys a good tropical climate and rainfall. Major
