Travel plug Nigeria 🇳🇬

Do you need a travel adapter for Nigeria?

Yes, always.

Nigeria uses two plug types side by side:

• Type D: three round pins in a triangular shape, the older British colonial type
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape, the modern British type

Because of the British colonial history you'll encounter both types side by side. In modern hotels in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt you'll more often find type G. In older accommodations, regional stays and the interior, type D is still dominant. Neither type fits a Dutch plug without an adapter.

A travel adapter for Nigeria is necessary when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in hotels, guesthouses or local accommodations
• make a road trip across different cities and regions
• want to avoid being left without power on location

Which type of power outlet does Nigeria have?

Nigeria uses two plug types:

• Type D: three large round pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan
• Type G: three rectangular pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Mauritius and Ghana

Type G has become increasingly dominant in modern accommodations and business locations, but type D remains common in older buildings and households. You can't rely on this mix, so a world adapter that supports both types is the safest choice.

Which travel adapter for Nigeria is best?

Because of the mix of plug types, a world adapter with type D support is the smartest choice.

For a one-off trip to Nigeria you could theoretically travel with several separate adapters, but that's cumbersome and you never know exactly which one you'll need. A world adapter covers both types in one device.

The Remodius World Adapter includes a special Type D plug slider and works in Nigeria and in 220+ other countries, with multiple USB ports so you can charge your phone, laptop and camera at the same time.

When choosing a travel adapter for Nigeria, look for:

• support for both type D and type G
• a sturdy housing for varying outlet quality
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• a compact size for hand luggage
• sufficient power for laptops and larger devices

Power and voltage in Nigeria

The power supply in Nigeria is the same as in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch devices: yes

So you don't need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Nigeria is enough. Your phone, laptop, camera and other devices work without any problems.

Do keep in mind that the power supply in Nigeria is notoriously unreliable. Power outages occur daily, even in large cities. Most hotels, offices and accommodations use backup generators to cope with this, but outside populated areas electricity can be limited. A good power bank is therefore almost essential in Nigeria.

When is a travel adapter for Nigeria essential?

An adapter is essential in Nigeria when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• headlamps and flashlights with rechargeable batteries
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you travel for business through Nigeria or make a road trip via Lagos, Abuja and Yankari National Park, a reliable world adapter with both type D and G is essential.
