Nigeria has with the largest population on the African continent estimated at 152 million. It shares its borders with Cameroon, Chad, Benin and Niger. Nigeria has returned from military to civilian rule in 1999; this allowed Nigeria to take steps to improve its infrastructure. It is a developing economy being heavily reliant of international support, and numerous military coups since the 1960's have hindered Nigeria's development.

Expatriates living in Nigeria should be aware there are a number of private healthcare facilities available in the major cities and towns.
