EASO Country of Origin Information Report: Nigeria Country focus

The EASO COI Portal is a gateway to Country of Origin Information (COI) produced by EU+ states and EASO in the context of asylum procedures. It also provides selected COI authored by EU institutions, such as the European Parliament and the External Action Service (EEAS).

COI produced by other organisations (non-governmental organisations, international organisations, research institutes, etc.) is not collected in the Portal since such information can be easily accessed via other complementary platforms such as ecoi.net or Refworld.

It provides carefully selected information on countries of origin to assist asylum practitioners (COI researchers, caseworkers, decisions and policy makers, lawyers, legal aid providers and judges). It allows users to be updated on COI events and publications and on COI workshops or conferences organised by EASO.

EASO COI Portal, was launched in early 2016.This report was written according to the EASO COI Report Methodology (2012) (1). It is based on carefully selected
sources of information. All sources used are referenced. To the extent possible and unless otherwise stated, all
information presented, except for undisputed or obvious facts, has been cross-checked.
