Nigeria is a regional powerhouse in West Africa and one of the world’s biggest emerging markets, with a population of more than 200 million people.

The country is well known for its abundant natural resources, but Nigeria’s leaders want to become less reliant on oil. They are putting policies in place that will release potential, foster innovation and diversify the economy.

Nigeria’s technology sector is already growing fast. In September, Facebook announced plans for a new office in Lagos to support the Sub-Saharan region – its first office on the continent with a team of engineers.

In this webinar, Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, will explore the expansion and investment opportunities for UK companies in Nigeria and Lagos State.

Discover which sectors are ripe for growth and hear about the opportunities for UK companies to tap into Nigeria’s potential.
