Nigeria 's Potential

Nigeria is the second largest economy in sub-Sahara after South Africa. Significant investment opportunities exist in telecommunications, power (especially generation), oil and gas, and manufacturing. Nigeria follows a market oriented economic development strategy. All forms of market-based reforms have been introduced and more inducements to both domestic and foreign private investments have been provided.

Over the past six years, the Nigerian government has pursued a policy of trade liberalization -- making the operating environment for businesses less rigid and more friendly to foreign investors; and privatization -- allowing private ownership of previously government-owned operations. As a result, many opportunities for global business operators have been created in Nigeria .

Nigeria 's economic climate is one that offers huge potential for investors, whether large multinational corporations or small businesses.
