Politics and law
Nigeria is a presidential federal republic and belongs to the Commonwealth. Head of state, head of government and commander in chief of the armed forces is the president, since 2015 Muhammadu Buhari (* 1942). The parliament consists of upper and lower houses and passes laws. Nigeria has 36 states. Each state is ruled by a governor and has its own parliament. There are often conflicts between the government and the individual states. There are also frequent clashes between the various ethnic and religious groups. The states in the north have a slightly greater influence on politics and the military, while the states in the south are economically superior. Several states in northern and central Nigeria have Sharia law – Laws introduced. There are major corruption problems across the country, and Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin have been working together with Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin to fight the Islamist terrorist organization Boko Haram since 2014. As Africa’s largest oil producer, Nigeria has been a member of OPEC since 1971.
There is general compulsory schooling from 6 to 15 years of age. The six-year primary level forms the basis of the school system. The secondary school builds on this with a two-stage general education and a vocational branch. The language of instruction is English. State schools are poorly equipped and teachers are often poorly trained. Almost half of the students drop out of school prematurely. In Nigeria, around 40% of people over the age of 15 cannot read and write adequately. Children from better-off families are increasingly attending well-equipped private schools. Nigeria has numerous universities.
Economy
Since the early 1970s, Nigeria’s economy has been driven by oil and natural gas, which together make up 96% of total exports. However, the profits from the oil business mainly benefit the Nigerian upper class and foreign corporations. In addition, the strongly fluctuating world market prices for crude oil repeatedly lead to severe setbacks in economic development. Nigeria is therefore trying to put its economy on a broader basis.

Agriculture, which used to deliver significant export surpluses, is to be given more support again. Around two thirds of Nigerians work as smallholders in agriculture. For their own use, they grow the grain sorghum and grow root vegetables such as jams and cassava. There are only a few large plantations on which oil palms, peanuts, cocoa and cotton are grown for export. Agriculture has been neglected for years. As a result, Nigeria now has to import large quantities of food to feed its rapidly growing population. There are also some industrial plants in the big cities, such as Lagos, Kano and Kaduna. The most important industries are the food and textile industries, steel production, chemical plants and assembly plants.
