Nigeria is a diverse nation with a Muslim culture in the north and Christian in the south. It is a major oil producing nation and also a manufacturer of numerous products. As the African market increases, Nigerian businesses are keen to exploit almost any opportunity. However, it is not the easiest country to visit, either as a tourist or for business. It is largely still a cash economy and care should be taken with any card transactions as fraud is common.
The Foreign Office has advice for travellers wishing to visit Nigeria. This advice is subject to change and crime can be a problem in parts of Nigeria so it is advised that visitors check for up-to-date information before travelling.
Despite the difficulties, outside of the major urban areas, Nigeria does have some spectacular scenery. Although now devoid of much of their original fauna, Nigeria does have several National Parks.
The Cross River Park contains the last remaining tract of Nigerian rainforest, while Yankari is the country's premier game reserve with a respectable stock of game. There are also a few secluded beaches in Nigeria suitable for tourists, such as Calabar and Eleko.
