# 50 leading companies with a mobile app in Nigeria

Tamtam tracks 110 companies with a mobile app headquartered in Nigeria. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Access Bank Plc, UBA Group and Jumia Group. Their median headcount is 1,266. Half of them were founded in 2008 or later. The most common headquarters are Lagos (20) and Abuja (7).

These Nigerian companies are mostly large financial institutions and technology firms with significant workforces. Access Bank Plc, UBA Group, and Fidelity Bank PLC are prominent examples in the banking sector, each employing thousands and offering comprehensive financial services. Jumia Group stands out in e-commerce, connecting consumers and sellers across Africa. MTN Nigeria is a key telecommunications provider, while Ikeja Electric is the largest power distribution network.

A clear pattern among these companies is the concentration of headquarters in Lagos and its environs, including Victoria Island, Lagos Island, and Ikeja. This suggests a central hub for major businesses in Nigeria. Many of these firms were founded between the late 1980s and the early 2010s, indicating a period of growth and establishment for these large enterprises.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
