Nigerian Transition and the Future of U.S. Policy Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate

Nigeria accounts for nearly 8 % of America's crude oil imports. It is also the single largest market in Africa, with an estimated population of 110 million, the 10th most populous on the planet. Nigeria is the potential engine to power the region's growth. The Committee's goal is to take advantage of the transition to civilian rule which Nigeria is now undergoing as it is a monumental economic opportunity for the U.S. on the African continent.
