Nigeria (ISO code: NG) lies in West Africa, bordering Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, with a southern coastline on the Gulf of Guinea. It is a federal presidential republic of 36 states. The climate ranges from tropical and humid in the south to semi-arid in the north, with pronounced wet and dry seasons. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy, dominated by crude oil and natural gas exports and complemented by agriculture, telecommunications and manufacturing. Imports focus on machinery, vehicles, chemicals and consumer goods. Logistically, the Lagos ports are the main maritime gateway, now supported by the Lekki Deep Sea Port, alongside inland river ports and a growing rail network. The country's location makes it a regional trade hub for West Africa. The national currency is the naira (NGN). Nigeria remains highly dependent on imports of industrial inputs and consumer goods, while its exports are strongly commodity-driven.
