The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Bolivia and Nigeria.
Bolivia | Nigeria | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | A, C | D, G |
Voltage | 115V, 220V, 230V | 240V |
Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Bolivia there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Nigeria there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

The voltage, 115V, which is present in Bolivia, is significantly different to what's used in Nigeria.
Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet.
See examples of appliance labels
Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Nigeria (240V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Nigeria.
The voltages, 220V and 230V, which are also present in Bolivia, are not exactly the same to what's used in Nigeria, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer when using sockets with this voltage. Be sure to carefully check the voltage before using your appliance in sockets in Nigeria. You may need to ask a local, and electrician, or the local government to find out in situations when the power sockets are not labelled with their voltages.
The frequency found in Bolivia and Nigeria is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
