How to Pay for Construction Work in Nigeria from Abroad – Safely and Effectively
Building or renovating a property in Nigeria while living overseas can be rewarding — but it’s also filled with challenges. Whether you’re a Nigerian in the diaspora, a foreign investor, or a construction sponsor, the big question is:
“How do I pay for construction work in Nigeria from abroad without losing money or control?”
From procurement delays to fund misuse, many overseas sponsors have seen their projects stall due to unaccountable spending or dishonest middlemen. Fortunately, there’s a better approach.
With Wigmore Trading, you can pay for construction work in Nigeria safely, in foreign currency, and ensure every payment leads to real progress on-site.
Why Paying for Construction from Abroad Is So Risky
| Common Problem | Risk/Impact |
|---|---|
| 💸 Funds misused | Cash meant for labour or materials is spent elsewhere |
| ❌ No project control | Sponsors don’t know what has been done or how much is spent |
| 🏗️ Fake progress updates | Builders request more funds without real site activity |
| 🧾 No documentation | No receipts, invoices, or timeline tracking |
| 🔐 Fraud or impersonation | Payments go to wrong or dishonest accounts |
