The Federal Republic of Nigeria continues to be the most populous country in Africa, with over 237.5 million people. Its gross domestic product in 2024 was $187.76 billion, largely driven by the oil and gas industry.
Over the past year, Nigeria has continued to reaffirm its pivotal role in both African and international politics, particularly through its active membership in regional organizations such as the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS.
Over the past year, more than 1,000 Nigeria-based jobs have been posted on the Devex platform. The majority of the openings are concentrated in Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of government; followed by Maiduguri, the humanitarian hub in the northeast; then Lagos, the country’s largest urban center and economic engine.
