With different views of market analysts and major players in the world economy, Africa is considered as one of the continents with great potentials and development possibility in the future. Nigeria, one of the West African Countries, giant of Africa alongside South Africa and the biggest African country (population wise) with about 150 million inhabitants is a major player in the continent. Nigeria is blessed with a lot of natural resources and these natural endowments are still not fully utilized towards the nation’s growth. How these natural resources and the market potential of the country could be fully utilized by both Finnish and Nigerian government is the core focus of this thesis work.
