The FNCCI was created in 1985 and immediately took advantage of the sustained support of the French business community. Being a representative of the organized private sector, the members enjoy a forum for the exchange of their ideas and the promotion of their bilateral relations. Today, the FNCCI represents more than 172 members 40% of which are French companies and 60% Nigerian companies.

To guarantee this specificity, this private organization, established by local law, is independent of all public institution. It is independently financed. A third of its resources comes from membership subscriptions while two thirds come from its activities. It is headed by a board of directors, half of which are French businessmen while the other half is Nigerian. (see "Team," "Board of Directors").
