The Catholic Church in Nigeria is mainly composed of a Latin hierarchy, joined in a national Episcopal Conference of Nigeria, and a single Eastern Catholic (transnational) see, comprising:
- 9 Latin rite ecclesiastical provinces, each under a Metropolitan Archbishop, with a total of 44 suffragan dioceses
- one missionary apostolic vicariate
- one Maronite diocese, for all Western and Central Africa

There are no titular sees. All defunct jurisdictions have current successor sees.
There is an Apostolic Nunciature (papal diplomatic representation at embassy-level) to Nigeria in the national capital Abuja; in it is also vested the papal Permanent Observer to Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
