DOING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

LINKS AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR DOING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

Nigeria has the potential to become one of the strongest economies of the world – even tipped by some to top the charts by 2050. Nigeria has the largest population in Africa and one of the biggest in the entire world, with more than 250 ethnic groups amongst its population and roughly 65% younger than 25 years. The Nigerian government runs on a democratic presidential system and despite recent socio-political instability the future seems to promise a greater degree of stability.

The economy has become the largest in Africa and is highly dependent on revenue from oil and gas – being one of the largest producers of crude oil globally. Changes have now been proposed to help diversify the economy with other industries showing significant growth opportunities being consumer goods and retail, real estate, agriculture and infrastructure. The Nigerian government has also introduced a number of incentives to attract foreign investors. These include a favourable company income tax, Pioneer Status Grants, Free Trade Zones and tax relief for research and development. Investors can also repatriate 100% of profits and dividends, while full ownership of companies is granted in all sectors apart from oil and gas.

The keys to successful business interactions in Nigeria are adaptability, flexibility and patience. Establishing personal relationships is important with the introductory section of meetings.
