Nigeria's presidency is probably the most demanding executive position on the continent. As a result of President Umaru Yar'Adua's prolonged illness and death, the largely untested Goodluck Jonathan has become President of Africa's complex and most populous country. The coming year will determine how long he can survive, and Nigeria Focus will be monitoring the situation closely.

First with the most important scoops, Nigeria Focus is widely recognised as the most authoritative publication on Nigeria's hydrocarbon sector. With unequalled knowledge of the complex political and business world of Africa's oil giant, its editor has long been the most authoriative expert on the Nigerian oil industry.

The team of experts who write Nigeria Focus - who are re based in Abuja, Lagos, and the Niger Delta - are well placed to unravel the political and business machinations in this most complex of countries. Nigeria Focus is essential reading for companies entering or operating in the country.
