Chargé d’Affaires of the United States Mission in Nigeria, Keith Heffern, said trade between Nigeria and the United States rose by 14 per cent in 2025 to nearly $15 billion, reinforcing Nigeria’s position as America’s second-largest trading partner in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Heffern made the disclosure recently during the U.S. Mission’s celebration of the 250th Independence Day of the United States, held at the U.S. Consul General’s Residence in Lagos.
Heffern said the increase in bilateral trade reflected the deepening commercial relationship between both countries, driven by growing investment, stronger private sector collaboration and expanding opportunities across key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
