The Service Manual seems to suggest all keyboards in that model line are backlit:

See p. 4. Do you have the backlight action key on the top row of the keyboard as shown at item 4 on p. 7? 

 

On p. 17 the Manual does seem to list backlit and non-backlit keyboards. Theoretically one can be exchanged for the other but it is a very serious technical challenge as it requires replacement of the whole top cover, which is a "residual" part. You have to completely disassemble the laptop then build it up from scratch onto the replacement top cover/keyboard. I doubt it has actually been done very many times. 

 

Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

In Nigeria I have no idea. Contact local HP Support using the part number from the Manual I provided you and they can perhaps direct you to a reseller you can buy from. Good luck.
