Home to more than 110 million people, Nigeria is the United States' largest trading partner in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2000. Nigeria: A Country Profile for U.S. Businesses is the first comprehensive investor guide targeted towards American companies operating in or pursuing investment in the country. White House staffers used the 60-page guide as a primer for President Clinton's August 2000 state visit. The guide includes chapters on the country's economic performance, investment environment, privatization information, and in-depth profiles of the energy, telecom, transportation, agribusiness and banking sectors. The guide outlines project development and finance opportunities available to American companies, and includes almost 20 pages of Nigerian contact information and hard-to-find statistical data.
