Benin–Nigeria relations are the bilateral diplomatic relations between Benin and Nigeria. The length of the international border between the two countries is 809 km.

History

Benin has maintained good relations with the regional power Nigeria. Currently, there are no officially established boundaries in the area where the territories of Benin, Niger, and Nigeria meet.

Trade

Informal trade continues to dominate the economic relationship between the two countries: transit trade and re-exports to Nigeria account for 20% of Benin's GDP, and approximately 80% of Benin's imports are destined for Nigeria. Factors such as Benin's unstable export base, heavy dependence on Nigeria, electricity supply issues, and inefficient government administration are among the challenges that hinder the country's economic development.
