Turner & Townsend in Nigeria

With over 180 million inhabitants, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. Its economy is also the strongest.

The petroleum sector alone accounts for over 70 percent of the country’s total export earnings. This sector receives a lot of interest from investors of offshore, onshore and inland basins, infield developments and developments in critical downstream facilities, such as pipelines, depots and refineries.

Real estate is also showing significant growth opportunities owing to urbanisation, a rising middle class and the country’s high population. This presents a huge opportunity for private investments in the sector, as well as public-private partnerships to drive low income residential properties, commercial office developments and data centres.

Successful investment in any market requires strong local expertise and on-the-ground planning. Organisations planning a capital programme here must understand and adapt to Nigeria’s exceptional and unique challenges to access its opportunities. We are well-positioned to support clients in this country.
