dc.description.abstractFor some time поw, the mainstay of Nigeria's economy has been foreign exchange earnings from oil sector. The country is reputed to have large quantities of unexploited natural gas and oil reserves. As the largest exporter of oil with the biggest natural gas reserves in Africa, most of the Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria has gone into the oil and gas sectors, although more recently into telecommunications and manufacturing as well. Oil and gas currently represent 95% of foreign exchange earnings and 80% of budgetary revenues. Consequently, Nigeria faces the task of diversifying and reforming its petroleum based economy.
