Eurocham Nigeria is a business group uniting, since 2018, the main European investors and corporate organizations in Nigeria. Our principal objective is to actively promote trade, investments, and exchanges between European and Nigerian businesses, advocating European quality standards, best practices, and culture of corporate social responsibility.
The European Union is a significant trading partner of Nigeria and as such, the engagement between EU companies and Nigerian public and private sector entities is crucial to maintain the further the strong business ties the EU and Nigeria, which is Africa’s largest economy. The EU is also Africa’s largest trading partner and with the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, there are opportunities for EU companies in Nigeria to expand their market from Nigeria to other African countries.
EuroCham Nigeria recognizes the opportunities and difficulties that could be faced by European companies of varying sizes operating in Nigeria. We therefore seek to partner with our members to drive their business success in Nigeria. To do so, we have provided a platform to connect business leaders of these companies with each other to share their experiences and best practices in areas of great importance to their operations. EuroCham Nigeria further facilitates engagement between its members and high-level stakeholders of the Nigerian public sector through regular meetings and forums. This enables our members to gain insight into policy developments in the country and to contribute, where possible, to the formulation of policies.
Conscious that we are together part of a community of European investors in Nigeria, we are anchored in the belief that when Nigeria goes well, our respective businesses fare well and so do the numerous people that we employ and impact every day. Please join us to contribute our joint success.Message from

Message from H. E.
Ambassador Mignot
The European Union is Nigeria’s top economic partner with around 25 billion euros worth both of annual trade in goods and of direct investment stocks. This remarkable achievement is the result of daily endeavors of hundreds of EU and Nigerian companies of all sizes and their thousands of employees.
Alongside other chambers of commerce from some of our Member states, Eurocham has a vocation to unite these companies, showcase our great bilateral economic relationship, help identify problems as well as opportunities to enhance it and establish general and sectorial dialogues with EU and Nigerian authorities.
As new EU Ambassador to Nigeria, I have been impressed by the momentum displayed by Eurocham, reaching now the threshold of 60 members. The support project recently launched by the EU Delegation should help accelerate this momentum and increase Eurocham’s capacities to reach its objectives.
