AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, AND FISHING: Nigeria has no shortage of arable land overall. About two-thirds
of all Nigerians obtain a living from agricultural production. Most are small-scale subsistence farmers.
Fishing has assumed greater importance as a food source.
RESOURCES AND POWER: Nigeria has a variety of both renewable and nonrenewable resources. Resource
extraction is the most important and the fastest-growing sector of the economy, reflecting the rise to
prominence of crude oil output. Nigeria has been a member of OPEC since 1971. There are oil refineries at
Port Harcourt and Kaduna. The petroleum industry remains dominant, and crude petroleum continues to
account for virtually all export earnings.
SOLID MINERALS: The most economically valuable minerals are crude oil, natural gas, coal, tin, and
columbite (an iron-bearing mineral that accompanies tin). Petroleum, first discovered in 1956, is the most
important source of government revenue and foreign exchange.
MANUFACTURING: Revenue from mining has enabled the federal government to establish such capitalintensive industries as the Ajaokuta and Aladja steel mills, pulp and paper mills at Oku Iboku and Iwopin,
petrochemical plants at Kaduna, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, and an aluminum smelter at Ikot Abasi.
FINANCE: The Central Bank of Nigeria issues the national currency, the NAIRA. The country has about 21
banks and financial institutions, and branch locations are widespread. There is a stock exchange and a
securities exchange commission in Lagos.
TRADE: The main markets for Nigerian exports consisting mostly of crude oil, cocoa beans, and rubber. The
main imports are machinery and transport equipment, manufactured goods (iron and steel products,
textiles, and paper products), chemicals, and food.
TOURISM: Nigeria has many attractions of interest to tourists. There are miles of coastal beaches, wildlife
reserves, a variety of cultures, and many museums that house artistic treasures.
