A close friend of mine who just gained admission to Rivers State University of science and technology has been given option of the following courses.

Biotechnology
Microbiology
Plant science
Environmental science and
Anatomy

She said she prefer Biotechnology, but asked me to research the career opportunities for this course within the Nigeria context so, I decide I will ask my good people of NL for more insight.

Pls kindly help a brother, all contributions are welcome.

Lemme think.....I'll brb

I would say biotechnology but then since we are looking at the Nigerian context its very tempting to say none of the above.

Since it seems she has no choice she can go for biotechnology but how many biotech jobs are available in Nigeria , Environmental science also looks okay but all the graduates from that course i know don't work in their field. Outside the country biotech would have been the best option at least one can practice. she can always go for her masters and then Phd if she is interested in academics but in all honesty the chances of getting a job related to her course of study is a bit slim. Considering the trend in research biotech is it but then nothing is guaranteed.

Wish her the best
