Lagos

Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital and Africa’s most populous city, generating an estimated 25% of Nigeria’s GDP. It is home to the Nigerian Stock Exchange, a major port complex, and the continent’s largest concentration of financial institutions and consumer businesses.

Lagos dominates African business headlines as the engine of Nigeria’s economy, a bellwether for sub-Saharan investment trends, and a hub for Africa’s entertainment, fintech, and consumer goods industries, making it indispensable to any pan-African economic narrative.
