Opportunities in Nigeria

With a population in excess of 195 million people, Nigeria has the largest population and economy in Africa. What opportunities does this large market offer UK companies?

Join us for a lunch discussion with Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola, Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK as he shares some insights on UK-Nigeria relationships and his perspectives on areas of opportunity.

Sectors offering particular opportunities to UK companies include energy, infrastructure and agri-technology. With expertise and capabilities in engineering, science and technology the UK companies can deliver in these sectors as the Nigerian government emphasises economic diversification to reduce the country’s dependence on oil. The Nigerian government's Economic Growth and Recovery Plan outlined a wide range of initiatives centred on agriculture, industrialisation, energy and social investment, creating more opportunities within increased public-private partnerships.

Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola was appointed as the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom by President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2021 and arrived in London in May 2021.
