The Embassy of Nigeria

Currently no Ambassador

The relationship between Nigeria and Germany is ultimately positive. Besides developing relations between the two countries, talks are mostly concerned with the domestic situation in Nigeria (in particular the growing number of attacks by Boko Haram) and multilateral issues, notably security and development in Africa, as well as questions relating to the African Union, the West African regional organisation ECOWAS and the United Nations.

With regard to economic relations, there is a Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria, which is based in Lagos and was set up by the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK). German and local businesspeople have also joined forces to form the Nigerian-German Business Association (NGBA) with the aim of stepping up bilateral economic relations.

The good relations between Germany and Nigeria are also reflected in the cultural sphere. A bilateral cultural agreement was signed in 1999, placing cultural relations between the two countries on a sound footing under international law.
