Developing an African Offshoring Industry—The Case of Nigeria

The purpose of this note is to raise
awareness of Nigeria's potential as an African
offshoring hub, and it is aimed primarily toward policy
makers, potential private sector investors, and development
partners. This note addresses the following questions: what
can Nigeria do to take advantage of the benefits of global
trade in services; how can the country brand itself as an
offshoring destination for international investors; and what
government policies are required to ensure that Nigeria
plays a role in the growing Information communication
technology (ICT) offshoring sector.
