Dear Nigerian graduates, the Nigerian labour market is not your only option.
There are international organizations actively recruiting, and many of these roles pay in dollars.
The United Nations and its agencies, UNICEF, UNDP, WHO, WFP, UNESCO, IOM, and the World Bank recruit regularly. Depending on your level and role, annual salaries can range from $25,000 to $90,000 or more.
Where to find opportunities:
• UN Careers (careers.un.org)
The official portal for UN vacancies worldwide.
• UN Nigeria (nigeria.un.org/en/jobs)
For openings and opportunities within Nigeria.
• UNjobnet (unjobnet.org)
Lists vacancies across the UN, World Bank, and other multilateral organizations.
• Impactpool (impactpool.org)
One of the best platforms for international development and NGO jobs, especially in Africa.
• Indeed (indeed.com)
Search terms like “UN Jobs Nigeria” or “NGO Jobs Nigeria” to find current openings.
A few things to note:
Your application must be error-free.
Arrange your CV from your most recent qualification and experience backwards.
If you have little or no experience, focus on internships first. UNICEF, UNDP, and WHO regularly offer internship programmes for students and fresh graduates. That experience can become the foundation for future full-time opportunities.
The recruitment process can take anywhere from two weeks to four months. You may be required to complete written assessments and attend virtual or physical interviews.
Luck can come from anywhere.
But you cannot be lucky in a race you never entered.
Start applying.
Above all, love God.
