Nigeria
The Expatriate Address Book
Last
Update October 2006
FREE
ACCESS REPORT
We have decided to start
a Free Access address book for newly arrived Expats in Nigeria. This listing
will begin with where you can go to have some entertainment (tourism, sight
seeing, leisure, beach, bars & pubs, restaurants, hotels in Lagos, Port
Harcourt and Abuja.
Expatriation in Nigeria will give you a special experience but at the beginning
you need to find places where you will what you need for your installation and
there is no yellow pages for that.
When the list will be big enough it will be proposed for download at the foot of
this page.
Contributors are welcome.
If a place for outing is not listed here, you can send us an e-mail at
info@nbrservices.com with
the place you want to see listed, the address and why not a few lines of
comments.
