What People Are Sending to Nigeria from the UK
Nigerians are highly fashionable people. Findings revealed that an average middle-class person in Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, Warri, Enugu, and some prominent cities in Nigeria treat themselves monthly lavishing colossal amounts of pounds on foreign-made branded clothes and shoes. The UK fashion industries receive massive patronage from Nigerians both at home and abroad. The same holds true of IT and gadgets. Name that phone or highly sophisticated laptop. Nigerians love them.

Nigeria and UK Business Relationship
The ties between Nigeria and the UK date back to the historical and political origins. But today, the business relationship between the two nations is stronger than ever.
In the year 2018-2019 alone, the countries traded total goods and services worth £5.1 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 14.4%. Exports from businesses in the UK accounted for £2.7 billion of that figure.
In fact, some of the most extremely well-known and sought-after brands in Nigeria are UK companies, especially in the luxury goods department.
Incentives of Exporting to Nigeria
To understand why Nigeria is the second-largest export destination in Africa for the UK, and why so many British companies are thriving there, consider the following incentives:
- Similar Legal System: Nigerian judiciary and legal system are based on the UK’s.
- Common Language: English is the generally spoken language in Nigeria.
- Familiar Culture: Both countries have ties deeply rooted in their histories and origin.
- Favourable Reputation: Nigerians favour British products because of their widespread reputation for quality, especially with luxury products.
- Investment Schemes: Nigeria offers many investment schemes, ranging from free trade zones and tax holidays to state-sponsored development programs.
- Lucrative Demographics: Nigeria has a growing middle class, with almost half of the population under 26 years of age and living in urban areas.

Business Opportunities in Nigeria for Investors
With the Nigerian government focused on expanding the economy and reducing its dependency on oil, the following sectors offer a lucrative opportunity for investors:
1. Infrastructure
Nigeria is lacking in quality infrastructure in terms of transport, urban development, healthcare, waste management, and many other areas.
To overcome those challenges, the government allocated over $1.5 billion for works, power, and housing projects and over $700 million for transport infrastructure in the Nigerian budget for 2016 alone.
Furthermore, the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) Department of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Works has outlined programs for various infrastructure projects to attract foreign direct investment.
These programs along with the government budget present a favourable opportunity for UK companies — allowing them to carve a share of this market by leveraging their expertise and drive for innovation.
2. Energy
Nigeria has one of the largest deposits of natural oil and gas in the world. Despite these resources accounting for the vast majority of the country’s exports and revenue, there are still plenty of untapped resources waiting for the right companies to tap into.
The reason is simple. A big part of the energy sector in Nigeria is using outdated equipment and technology to mine these natural resources. As a result, British businesses can leverage the latest innovations in technology and processes to gain a competitive edge.
On top of that, the government has created many schemes to assist businesses willing to invest in rehabilitative, innovative, and renewable energy. These schemes are also backed by the African Development Bank.
As a result, the energy sector presents many valuable opportunities for UK companies.
3. Agriculture
With over 80 million hectares of arable land and a climate suitable for the growth of many types of crops, the agriculture sector is ripe with opportunities for investors.
For instance, the government has taken multiple pro-investment initiatives within the last few years and has provided support to farmers at single-digit interest rates. As a result, there’s a rising demand for advanced farming equipment, storage facilities, and high-grade fertilizers.
When you combine that rising demand with Nigeria’s preference for British products and services, you can see why this sector is ripe with opportunities for UK companies.
- Consumer Goods
It’s not controversial that Nigerians are fashionable and trendy people. Nigerians spend a vast amount of money on all popularly known fashion brands on the market. Many Nigerians who schooled in the UK usually relocate back to their home country to access boundless opportunities in the country and they are always keeping up with the fashion style they’re used to in the UK.
As a shipping company, Nigeria remains one of our biggest routes. In 2020 alone when the global pandemic was ravaging the entire world, cargonaija record the highest sales in shipping to Nigeria than any other country we ship to from the UK.
An average middle-class Nigerian spends a colossal amount of their income on UK brands so therefore the consumer goods market is a profitable export market any entrepreneur won’t want to pass on.
Legal Considerations for Licensing Your Export Business
To expand your UK business to Nigeria, you’ll have to take care of various legal requirements, some of which include:
- Exports Declaration: The UK government has made it mandatory for all businesses to declare their exports to HMRC through the National Export System (NES). You’ll have to classify your goods by including a commodity code and a Customs Procedure Code (CPC), which you can find on the official website.
- Nigerian Customs: Apart from outlining clearance processes and documentation requirements for imports, the Nigeria Customs Administration has prohibited certain items from entering the country, including living or dead birds, beef, eggs, pork, pasta, bottled water, and cement powder. You can see the latest list here.
- Capital Importation: To transfer your funds to Nigeria, you need to get a Certificate of Capital Importation from a Nigerian bank first. This certificate will also serve as statutory evidence of your investment.
- Business Registration: Just like your business is registered with the authorities in the UK, you have to register your export operation with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria. You can either partner with a local company, set up a Nigerian subsidiary, or register as a foreign company.
- Intellectual Property: To register your trademark, patents, and any other intellectual properties, you’ll have to apply to the Nigerian Trademark Patents and Design Registry. This process can take months or even years sometimes, so it’s best to start this process as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your assets.
- Tax Registration: There are many taxes you need to account for. These include Companies Income Tax (30%), Personal Income Tax (7% to 24%), Education Tax (2%), and Value Added Tax (0% to 5%). There’s also a refundable Withholding Tax between 5% to 10%.
Travelling to Nigeria for Business
To fulfill those legal requirements and establish your export business, you will inevitably have to travel to Nigeria. That’s because important business is typically conducted face to face in this African country. Essentially, getting your covid vaccination should also be considered a top priority.
To enter Nigeria, you will need a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry. Unless you qualify for an exception, you’ll also have to apply for a visa in advance. You should preferably get a business visa, but you can also make it work with a tourist or visit visa if that’s not possible.
While there are many dialects spoken throughout the dozens of states, English is commonly spoken and you won’t have a hard time communicating. Getting around will be easy as well thanks to ride-hailing services like Uber and Taxify.
As with any other country, you must remain diligent and follow common-sense safety precautions to keep yourself and your belongings outside the reach of shady characters.
Nigerian States Where Businesses Are Likely to Thrive
The Doing Business in Nigeria report by the World Bank is full of insights that can help you choose the best state in Nigeria for your business. Here’s a quick overview of some of the top states:
- FCT Abuja: Abuja is hands down the best place to do business in Nigeria. It offers one of the easiest and fastest processes to start a new business and ranks fairly well for registering property and enforcing contracts.
- Lagos: Being the capital of Nigeria, Lagos state is the economic hub of Nigeria and is the second easiest state to start a business in. However, if your business requires a construction permit, you should look elsewhere as Lagos is the worst place to secure a construction permit.
- Kaduna: Kaduna is not only one of the easiest states to start a business in, but it also offers the most freedom and convenience in terms of registering property and enforcing contracts. In fact, it’s ranked as the number one state for those factors by the World Bank.
- Jigawa: This northern state of Nigeria scored highly in all categories, including ease of starting a business, transferring properties, and enforcing contracts. Furthermore, Jigawa has a free trade zone and the state government has partnered with international bodies to develop the local infrastructure. These factors collectively make Jigawa a top destination for investors.
