Nigeria and Sri Lanka have signed Memoranda of Understand­ing (MoU) in different sectors of their economies last year during the Commonweal­th Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The MoUs specifical­ly cover agricultur­e and allied industries, petroleum, power, trade and investment, finance, culture, education, infrastruc­ture, mining, aviation and maritime cooperatio­n. They were signed by Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Professor Viola Onwuliri and the Sri Lankan External Affairs Minister Professor Gamini Peiris, in Colombo, on the sidelines of the CHOGM.

Nigeria is currently one of the world’s major investment destinatio­ns and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. A burgeoning middle class has created huge opportunit­ies for businesses in consumer markets like real estate, financial services, food and pharmaceut­icals, energy and power, cable and satellites and telecommun­ications. Nigeria has a large and competitiv­e domestic market with high unmet demand for basic goods and services, untapped abundant natural resources and large and flexible workforce.

From 2002 until 2013, Nigeria’s Exports averaged US $ 5.1 billion reaching an alltime high of US $ 10.3 billion in May of 2008 and a record low of US $ 1.0 billion in February of 2002. Exports of oil and natural gas are the main factor behind Nigeria’s growth and accounts for more than 95 percent of total exports. Nigeria’s main exports partners are USA (30 percent of total in 2009), Equatorial Guinea (8 percent), Brazil (6.6 percent), France (6 percent) and India (6 percent).
