Nigeria has a privatized economy, low cost of labor, and abundant natural resources. The government promotes public-private partnerships and has liberal economic policies, which help maintain good relations with foreign firms. Being the seventh largest population in the world it is also the largest market in Africa. Foreign companies can own 100% of the business in all sectors except for industries critical to the nation’s security. Widespread corruption, poor infrastructure, terrorism, inefficient judicial system, and political instability have reduced the influx of foreign investment.

Despite these challenges, Nigeria received USD 80 billion in FDI in 2015. Bilateral trade agreements and treaties with many countries and tax incentives in all major industries have motivated investors to invest here.
