The Journey of Nigerian Diplomacy in Greece
The Federal Republic of Nigeria opened the Embassy of Nigeria in Athens, Greece, in 1981, during the tenure of President Shehu Shagari. The first Nigerian Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic was Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe. Following the military intervention in 1984, the Mission was closed and Nigeria’s interest in Greece was covered by the Nigerian Embassy in Rome, until the re-opening of the Mission in February 2000, under the leadership of Ambassador Frank Ogbuewu.
Past Heads of Mission at the Embassy:
Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe (1981-1984)
Ambassador Frank Ogbuewu (2000 – 2003)
Ambassador Prof. Olu Agbi (2004 – 2007)

Background of the Nigerian Economy
Discover Nigeria's Economic Landscape and Diversification Efforts
Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, with a GDP greater than USD 500 billion. This growth has been driven primarily by the non-oil sectors, such as financial services, telecommunications, and entertainment. Foreign direct investment inflows have been strong, averaging USD 2 billion per quarter since 2013, with over 70% in non-oil sectors. Despite its challenges, Nigeria's economy is diversified, with the oil sector contributing only about 14% to GDP.
The current administration has focused on three main sectors: telecommunications, financial services, and cement. The success in these sectors is attributed to the right enabling environment, policy consistency, and fostering competition among industry operators.
The Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) launched in 2012 focuses on agro-allied, solid minerals, and oil and gas-related industries. Efforts are also being made to improve the ease of doing business and build robust infrastructure to promote economic growth.
Diversification is a priority for Nigeria. The administration is committed to creating a conducive environment for trade and investment, focusing on non-oil sectors to ensure sustainable economic growth.
