Nigeria has received more than $300m (£241m) that were stolen by the former military ruler, Sani Abacha.
The money was returned from the US and the British dependency of Jersey.
Under a repatriation agreement it is to be spent on infrastructure projects.
Gen Abacha ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his death in 1998.
The anti corruption agency, Transparency International, estimates he stole as much as $5bn during his time in office.
Switzerland is believed to have returned around $1bn over the last decade.
