On March 8, 2024, The Federal Ministry of Interior (FMI) issued a Press Release announcing the suspension of the implementation of the Expatriate Employment Levy (EEL).
The EEL, which was introduced by the Nigerian Government on February 27, 2024, imposes a government-mandated contribution on employers who hire expatriate workers in Nigeria, ranging from $10,000 USD to $15,000 USD for each expatriate under employment in Nigeria.
