Economy
Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and one of its largest economies, an oil giant whose petroleum provides most export earnings and government revenue, yet whose wealth is poorly shared.
Beyond oil, Nigeria has a vibrant private sector — including the globally famous 'Nollywood' film industry and a booming tech scene — but struggles with inflation, fuel-subsidy reform, insecurity, and corruption.
Key sectors include oil and gas (the economic mainstay), agriculture (which employs most workers), a large services and telecoms sector, film and entertainment (Nollywood), and a fast-growing fintech industry.
