10 Best Business Hubs & Co-working Spaces in Nigeria

15 Oct 2025

Co-working spaces and business hubs in Nigeria have been growing rapidly over recent years, driven by rising entrepreneurship, remote work trends, and the need for flexible, lower-cost alternatives to traditional office leases. As of mid-2025, there are over 500 to 569 coworking spaces across Nigeria, with Lagos holding over 50% of them. Rentech Digital +1 These hubs offer various levels of service: hot-desks, dedicated desks, private offices, virtual offices, meeting rooms, event spaces, mentorship and community events. Quality of infrastructure (power backup, high-speed internet, air-conditioning) is increasingly a deciding factor for users. Amenities like café services, networking events, workshops and tech support also differentiate the better hubs. Locations near commercial centers, transport nodes and lifestyle areas (e.g. Lekki, Ikoyi, Ikeja, Victoria Island in Lagos; Maitama, Wuse in Abuja) tend to command premium rates but also deliver higher convenience. Challenges remain: inconsistent power supply, internet stability, high cost of real estate in prime locations, and sometimes hidden or unpredictable fees. Still, many users—freelancers, startup teams, digital nomads, small businesses—find them invaluable for cost savings, access to professional environment (especially when meeting clients), and community & collaboration that can spur ideas and growth. As Nigeria’s economy and business culture continue shifting toward flexibility, these hubs are becoming central to how modern businesses operate.
