Investment Policy Review - Nigeria
Nigeria is well known as a major oil producer. However, oil wealth has not been converted unto a comparable improvement in living standards, due to decades of economic mismanagement. The report provides an overview of foreign direct investment (FDI) trends and performance; analyses the investment framework; outlines a strategy of “supported market forces” to induce and support foreign affiliates in manufacturing to increase their presence in the country and in so doing the contribution to Nigeria’s development. The final chapter summarizes the main findings of the report and the proposed policy recommendations.
Migration, Human Smuggling and Trafficking from Nigeria to Europe
There are several hundreds of thousands of Nigerians throughout Europe, half of whom live in the United Kingdom. According to this report, emigration has represented a considerable drain of highly qualified labour from Nigeria, while at the same time, the Nigerians abroad represent a substantial resource to their country of origin and they send more than a billion US dollars back to their relatives every year.

Targeted by Terrorists: Child Recruitment, Exploitation and Reintegration in Indonesia, Iraq and Nigeria
This research study was carried out by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in a collaboration between the End Violence Against Children team of the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Section; the Research, Innovation and Partnership Section of the Research and Trend Analysis Branch; and the Terrorism Prevention Branch. This study was carried out in Indonesia, Iraq and Nigeria with the aim of increasing knowledge regarding children associated with groups designated “terrorist” (henceforth terrorist groups). Children’s association with such groups and their abduction, recruitment, use and exploitation by them has gained greater visibility in recent years, with reports indicating that thousands of children are affected worldwide. The groups groom and indoctrinate them, use them as servants, sexually abuse and exploit them, and directly involve them in fighting and various auxiliary activities including serving as spies and informants. The research aims to identify the drivers and manifestations of children’s association with terrorist groups in specific contexts, examine whether and how terrorist groups pose unique protection risks for children, and analyze existing interventions responding to this phenomenon. It explores the issues across three axes of investigation: child association, responses from and coordination among actors, and impact of the representation of children on policy.
Nigeria Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025
Fifteen years on, the crisis in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY states) in north-east Nigeria continues unabated. It is characterized by conflict, insecurity and widespread population displacement, driven in large part by the Boko Haram insurgency. It has destroyed critical infrastructure, disrupted agricultural livelihoods – the mainstay of the region – and hindered access to assistance and basic services in some areas, generating an acute protection crisis. Nigeria continues to face extensive humanitarian challenges, with an estimated 33 million people projected to experience food insecurity during the 2025 lean season. Additionally, 1.8 million children Climate change, combined with rapid population growth-Nigeria’s population is projected to reach 400 million by 2050 according to the World Bank - will pose a significant risk, with greater population density in flood prone areas. The impact of climate, ailing infrastructure and poor urban planning have made Nigeria one of Africa's most flood-prone countries. The 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Nigeria (HNRP) is a much shorter document than in previous years. It presents a more succinct narrative and analysis leading up to the outlined response, without compromising the process that generated the evidence including the prioritization and targeting that underpins the Plan.
