McKinsey in Nigeria

With 170 million people, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, and its economy is one of the world’s fastest growing. Since 2002, McKinsey has played an active part in driving this growth and accelerating development.

Our team of highly qualified consultants, from Nigeria and around the world, helps government leaders reform key institutions, build skills, expand infrastructure, and shape the growth of major economic sectors. And we support business leaders on their top strategic issues— helping major Nigerian companies win as regional and global champions, and helping multinationals build high-impact African operations. We also work in many other countries in the region, contributing to the economic rebirth of sub-Saharan Africa.
