Nigeria Tenders

Nigeria has a dual economy with a modern segment dependent on oil earnings, overlaid by a traditional agricultural and trading economy. The economy of Nigeria was based on agriculture, and about 70% of the workforce is still engaged in farming. Petroleum is the leading mineral produced in Nigeria and provides about 95% of foreign exchange earnings and the majority of government revenues. The growing oil industry attracted many to urban centers. Industry in Nigeria includes the processing of agricultural products and minerals, and the manufacture of textiles, construction materials, footwear, chemicals, fertilizer, and steel. Fishing and forestry are also important to the economy.
