Should have read the comments first. Just wasted 20 minutes trying to find a registrar.
This is an example of why 90% of the time, I read the HN comments and then decide whether the story is worth checking.
It would appear that second-level .ng domains might be available, but only for companies incorporated in Nigeria, which is probably not a bad idea.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

And when I don't, I usually regret it. Like now. It would appear that second-level .ng domains might be available, but only for companies incorporated in Nigeria, which is probably not a bad idea.

With the stigma of Nigerian emails scams would you really even want to be associated with .ng?
I did a little more research and it looks like the second-level .ng domains are being sold through an auction slot process. The starting bids are around $50,000.

Its sad that just a minority of Nigerians [0.05%] of a population of 150million have completely destroyed the reputation of an entire nation. Nonetheless, Websoft has been able to earn the trust of some Fortune 500 companies & hence our selection as the Registrar in Nigeria & we stand committed to building a New Image of Nigeria & flush out these unscrupulous elements.
