Nigeria’s manpower outsourcing market is emerging, supported by a youthful population and increased activity in sectors like fintech, oil and gas, and telecommunications. Drivers include rising demand for short-term and project-based employment, while key restraints stem from inadequate infrastructure and labor law enforcement challenges.

Outsourcing presents major opportunities to address regional employment gaps and reduce operational costs. Nigeria’s market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2030, becoming a key player in West Africa’s staffing ecosystem.
