Nigerian Dress Code

It is important to dress well in Nigeria as the way you are dressed will signal your relative level of importance.

Men should wear dark suits and ties and women should wear dark, demure business-style suits.

Remember that Nigeria is a very hot place, so make sure that the clothing you pack is lightweight. It is a good idea to carry an umbrella with you as a precaution against the frequent heavy downpours.
