Payroll Outsourcing in Nigeria

Nigeria's Economy

Nigeria is known to be the most populous country in Africa. The country is rich in hydrocarbon resources, the 11th country in the world for proven reserves, 9th for gas. Agriculture is also their strength – the country is the 5th largest cocoa producer in the world. Nigeria also has significant mining potential, with untapped resources such as gold, barite, tin, and zinc. Nigeria is quite reliant on oil revenues which represent 90% of exports. However, lack of infrastructure impacts on the potential of agriculture, and thus there’s less economic diversification.

Employment in Nigeria

Employment agreements are made in either oral or written formats in Nigeria, though many employees prefer a written agreement that outlines all details about their salary, compensation, leaves, and termination information. The at-will employment prevails in Nigeria, whereby employers should hand over a written notice of dismissal and let the employee defend himself. Several other benefits are also considered such as pension plans, dental benefits, life insurance, car allowance among others.
