位於西非,是非洲人口最多的國家,同時也是非洲最大經濟體。全國經濟高度仰賴石油,石油出口就佔了全國出口額85%以上。雖然坐擁石油,境內也有其他未被大規模開發的礦物資源,但人類發展指數是全球末段班。境內有極端主義組織博科聖地,以及從博科聖地分裂出來的ISWAP(IS 西非省軍團),恐怖攻擊和綁架案件頻傳,當地政府也束手無策。
Year Founded: 1960
Located in West Africa, Nigeria has the largest population in Africa. It is also the largest economy in Africa. The country’s economy is highly dependent on petroleum, which accounts for more than 85% of the country’s total export volume. While Nigeria is rich in petroleum resources and has abundant mineral deposits, it ranks bottom on the human development index. Due to extremist groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, an offshoot of Boko Haram, the government of Nigeria is too occupied just trying to deal with terrorist attacks and kidnappings to focus its efforts on raising the living standard of its people.
