Maps of Nigeria

This African country was first inhabited many thousand years ago, and is important for its rich ethnic culture.
Officially known as Federal Republic of Nigeria, Nigeria consists of 36 states and the capital city of Abuja. Covering a total area of more than 356,000 sq km, it is the 32nd largest country in the world. It has a population of more than 120 million, thus making it the most populous country in Africa. Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa are three largest as well as most-influential ethnic groups. While there are some recognized national and regional languages, English is the official language of Nigeria. Christianity and Islam are the two major religions, in addition to a small, traditional minority-group.

Excavations revealed that human habitation in the region where present-day Nigeria is, dates back to 9,000 BC. During the colonial era, it had trade relations with the Spaniards and Portuguese. In 1900, the country came under British control but gained independence on October 1, 1960.

Nigeria is an oil-rich country, but political instability, shortage of infrastructure and corruption hampered the country’s economy severely. However, in 2008 the country began following economic reforms and now is classified as ‘mixed economy emerging market’. The oil industry accounts for 95% of foreign-exchange income and around 80% of the budgetary income.

After independence, the Nigerian government got involved with education in the country. Universal primary education was introduced after the civil war of 1967. Education in Nigeria has three levels – primary, secondary and higher.
