From Antigua and Barbuda to Nigeria
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Nigeria: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Nigeria. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Nigeria
Nigeria runs on 230V/50Hz with Type G sockets, the British three-pin standard.
Grid & history
Nigeria’s grid struggles to meet demand: the national supply often delivers far less than installed capacity, and most middle-class homes and businesses run private generators. Solar (especially mini-grids) is growing.
Availability
Unreliable nationwide. Daily outages are common in most cities, diesel generators are nearly universal in hotels, offices, and homes.
Sockets & hotels
Type G is standard. Be aware that generator power can be lower-quality than grid power; protect sensitive electronics.
Energy mix
Hydropower and private gas; off-grid solar growing.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter is essential for any non-UK plug.
- Always carry a power bank, outages are routine, even in business hotels.
- Use a surge-protected charger or strip; generator-fed power can spike.
