“With Africa’s largest economy and a sizable youth population that is connected to the world, U.S. brands must consider Nigeria a critical market.

“And while these companies will benefit from expansion into Nigeria, so, too, will Nigeria benefit from their presence.”

Business HALLMARK reports that Woods commended on the high level of consumer interest and enthusiasm for the iconic American quick-service restaurant since opening its doors in early November.

“The enthusiasm has been overwhelming, and this speaks volumes of the strength of American brands, and on a deeper level, the connection between our two countries.”

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, congratulated Burger King and its local partners describing it as one more sign of the benefits of a close U.S.-Nigeria bilateral relationship.

“We expect Burger King to roll out outlets in hundreds across the country.”
