# Top 50 multinational companies in Nigeria

Tamtam tracks 115 multinational companies headquartered in Nigeria. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Access Bank Plc, UBA Group and First Bank of Nigeria Ltd.. Their median headcount is 1,271. Half of them were founded in 1998 or later. The most common headquarters are Lagos (25), Abuja (2) and Port Harcourt (2).

These multinational companies in Nigeria are primarily large financial institutions, including commercial banks and diversified financial services groups, alongside significant players in consumer goods and technology. Key companies include Access Bank Plc, a full-service commercial bank; Jumia Group, an e-commerce platform; Dangote Industries Limited, a diversified conglomerate in essential products; and Globacom, a telecommunications provider.

The data shows a strong concentration of headquarters in Lagos, particularly in Lagos Island, Victoria Island, and Ikeja, indicating the city's role as a major commercial hub. While several companies have long histories, such as First Bank of Nigeria Ltd. founded in 1894, there are also more recent establishments like Jumia Group from 2012, reflecting a mix of established and newer 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.
