Although Nigeria has a dubious reputation when it comes to safety and security, the majority of expats enjoy a trouble-free stay there. Companies view the safety of their foreign staff as a priority and most expats live within secure compounds with access control and good security features. Many expats have a car and driver provided so they don’t have to navigate the treacherous Nigerian roads alone, and some may even provide armed escorts, depending on the position and seniority of the employee and their location within Nigeria.
