Its purpose is to assist sub-Saharan economies (and Nigeria) improve economic relations with the USA. It provides trade preferences for quota and duty-free entry into the USA for certain goods.

Basically, it provides duty and quota-free market preferences for countries in the Sub Sahara including Nigeria. This means you can export certain products from Nigeria to the US without paying for duty.
