​​Please could you provide me with the latest official figure for how many Nigerians are living in the UK aged 18-30?

We said

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request asking for the latest official figure for how many Nigerians are living in the UK aged 18 to 30.

On 14 January we published Population of the UK by country of birth and nationality: individual country data, January 2019 to December 2019 which estimated that 219,000 of the resident population of the UK were born in Nigeria and 114,000 of the resident population held Nigerian nationality. These figures were taken from Table B and Table D respectively of the Excel file available for download in this publication.

We would need to create bespoke analysis in order to estimate how many Nigerians aged 18 to 30 live in the UK. This is available to order and is subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate. Please email us directly on pop.info@ons.gov.uk if you wish us to carry out this analysis.

Unfortunately, we do not hold any data which would allow us to provide estimates of how many first and second generation Nigerians live in the UK.

When accessing any of our files please read the 'notes, terms and conditions' contained within them.

Please do not hesitate to contact us directly on pop.info@ons.gov.uk if you require anything further.
