The Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce is the foremost
bilateral Chamber of Commerce in Nigeria. The Chamber is accredited under the
NACCIMA/CIPE, Washington, D.C. USA accreditation programme. There are over 350
corporate members who are found in all sectors of the Nigerian economy. Our
membership base range from the small and medium enterprises to large scale
multinational corporations and government agencies. We organize workshops,
business luncheons, seminars, trade fairs, trade mission, members' evening and
other such activities that aid trade and investment.

The Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) was
founded in 1977 in Lagos: an outcome of a discussion two years earlier, between
the then Mr. Adam Thompson (later Sir Adam Thompson), Chairman of the then
British Caledonian Airways and Chief (Dr) Henry Fajemirokun, CON (both of
blessed memory) who was also the founding president.
