Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, the largest exporter of oil from the continent and the second-biggest economy in sub-Saharan Africa. With a market of close to 140 million consumers, Nigeria has many more opportunities to offer than simply oil: from the retail sector, to ICT and mining, agriculture, services sectors and a range of manufacturing industries. With over 100 SA companies currently doing business in Nigeria, in almost all sectors of the Nigerian economy, Nigeria has emerged as a viable export and investment destination.

As the most populous African nation and the leading sub-Saharan oil producer, Nigeria has a vast but largely unfulfilled economic potential. A vibrant private sector, a low-cost labour pool, highly motivated entrepreneurs, vast and fertile agricultural land, and a large domestic market, combine to create a perfect opportunity for Western Cape business to take advantage of.
