Can you bring meat or dairy products to Nigeria?

Short answer
Depends on specifics

  • Meat & dairy

    depends on specifics

    The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) requires a sanitary/health certificate, specific-disease laboratory test results, and an import permit for animal and animal-product imports. NAQS's own FAQ describes this in general commodity terms rather than stating a personal-baggage/traveler-specific exemption or quantity threshold, so no traveler-specific allowance is published here — assume meat/dairy products require prior NAQS authorisation and check with NAQS before bringing any.
