US Mission in Nigeria

USAID Nigeria, a sub-agency of the U.S. Agency for International Development, administers development assistance programs and procures goods and services to support U.S. foreign aid objectives in Nigeria. The office executes both federal contracts and grant awards to support health, education, humanitarian response, and development initiatives across the country.

USAID Nigeria has awarded 516 federal contracts totaling $1.65 billion in combined potential value since 2005, with $870.1 million obligated to date. Contract activity has slowed substantially in recent years: 45 awards in 2021, 36 in 2022, 25 in 2023, 32 in 2024, and 6 in 2025. The most recent recorded award is dated July 2025. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with the top five primes holding just 43 percent of recent awards by count and near-zero concentration by potential value. Undisclosed domestic awardees lead by recent award count with 16 awards worth $5.3 million in combined potential value, followed by undisclosed foreign awardees with 11 awards worth $1 million. Reliable Supply Chains International Inc. and Intellectechs Inc. are the most visible named primes, with 7 and 6 awards respectively over the last five years, though both carry modest reported value. Across 128 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio history, nearly all awards fall outside small-business set-asides: 515 of 516 awards (100 percent) carry no set-aside designation, with only 1 small-business set-aside award on record.

USAID Nigeria has obligated $4.12 billion in federal grant dollars across 82 grant awards since 2008, with combined total dollars (federal and non-federal match) of $4.16 billion. Grant activity declined sharply after 2022: 10 awards in 2020, 8 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 4 in 2024. The most recent recorded grant award closed December 2024. Grant recipients are highly fragmented by award count (top five hold 47 percent) but extremely concentrated by federal dollars (top five hold just 7 percent of recent federal obligated dollars), indicating a small number of very large awards among a dispersed field of smaller recipients. Excellence Community Education Welfare Scheme (Ecews) leads by dollar value with $94.4 million in federal funds obligated across a single award, followed by International Rescue Committee, Inc., with $67.9 million across two awards. The recipient base spans 59 distinct organizations. Grant assistance is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (89 percent of awards) with a smaller share of Project Grants (11 percent).
