Hi Achmed1,
Am also writing the exams in Feb 2011 for Int II though i attend lectures. However, since you are self studying, i will advise you concentrate a lot of energy on Comparative Mgt. That course is voluminous and residual knowledge 'may' not apply. I cannot say exactly which topics you should concentrate on in the courses but i think laying your hands on past question papers should do alongside your readings.

Good luck to us all.

Hi everybody,

I am interested in HR and hope to build a career in it.
How do I become a member of CIPM. I reside in abj.

Thanks.

@Dubem, unilag offers a master degree in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management (Full time) and Master in Industrial and Labour Relations (Part time).
I think University of Ibadan equally offers a master degree prog in Human Resources, check their websites for more details.
Wish you the best.

Plz i heard there is a south african HR certification one can get in 2wks.does anyone know about it and how mch it costs?

^^^alternatively one can go 4 an mba with concentration on hr mgt .Unilag offer such

thanks lumdee
i'll get back to you after i've made enquiries

Are you talking about people with HR certification or it includes other professionals such as accountants that render recruitment services. We should also remember that there are some recruitment websites where information about careers/vacancies are posted. If what you want includes the aforementioned groups of individuals, there are websites that provide the services. On request, I can make the list of the ones I know to you. This can benefit other members of the forum too.

HR people

what exactly do you do with info such as, state of origin, LGA, Date of birth and marital status that is required on nigerian CVs? and application forms?

Does this in anyway have anything to do with the ability to perform or it's a case of na so i see am na so we do am?

They're relevant information oh, especially in the Nigerian context.

Age, state of origin, and marital status may have some bearing on the job itself. Entry level jobs usually have a cut off age in Nigeria, marital status may have some implication (for example a married woman might not be the best fit for a field job in hazardous conditions and/or long hours), and state of origin is usually considered by even MNCs to ensure they are in line with Federal Character. The laws of Nigeria and the peculiarities of the environment necessitate some of these things.

I guess it is the same everywhere. You might not put that stuff on your CV in , say, the UK,  but when you show up for interviews, there'll probably be some means of collecting that information. For us in Nig, it helps to cut to the chase, and not have to interview the 50 million graduates that show up for every interview, every time.

I was thinking most of these stuff have to do with government job really, because I doubt they are enforced in anyway; maybe they are required to collect the information but a company in ogun will never have to explain why it didn't employ anyone from Taraba for example

A bit like the nysc stuff too, It use to be just compulsory for government jobs but now even private companies make it compulsory

True but there aren't compulsory and you'll never find them on the form

You mean you its possible to whittle down suitably qualified applicants based on the LGA, State of Origin and marital status?

Please my good people. l need this info urgently, has to complete an assignment for my boss today with it.

What laws and regulations governs HR role in nigeria?

l can only remeber the following:

1.Pension Act 2004. (contributary RSA and Group life assurance)
2Workman Compensation Act 2004 -now Employee compensation act 2010 -does anybody have access to this new act or how is it different from that of 2004.
3. NHIS Act - HMOs

Please let me know any other one, the coy wants to know the laws and regulations the coys complies with. for now we comply with these, but l want to know if there is any?

Again, is there a law that says employee must join a trade union?

Expecting your answers please.

Government makes the NYSC compulsory for everybody; whether government or private companies. I honestly do not know what sanctions are available if you employ staff that don't pass through NYSC, but I am aware it's the law.

As per the state and LGA stuff, you know there is Federal Character legislation in Nigeria. Even private companies are expected to distribute hiring sufficiently across the geopolitical zones, depending where in Nigeria they are operating. It's a government thing, but it's some kind of unwritten expectation that your hiring should reflect the diversity of either your stakeholders (board members) or the government itself.

A bank that is operating nationally is not really expected to take staff from the South to run its branches up north. But when they advertise, they have to use the national press, cos the local press in the North may not be as developed as the one from the South. So when they do, they ask for all that info upfront, so they can shortlist the likely candidates. I remember in one company I worked, where the HR person got into trouble when she presented a report at the board meeting, which showed that a significant percentage of the staff were from the CEO's state and local government area. The other board members were furious.

Another example is the oil and gas sector. There are usually quota reserved for host communities, like Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, etc. An oil company may well find itself hiring majority Yoruba indigenes simply because its head office is in Lagos, and Yorubas have a geographical advantage. But taking those Yorubas to work in the Delta will likely create a major issue. So you may well find specific jobs zoned to indigenes of these communities, even if other applicants are better qualified, they won't be considered.

These things may sound weird but I guess they're necessitated by the peculiarity of the environment. Laws in the UK are liberal, but I doubt if the same situation is applicable in Nigeria, where people have the mindset of 'national cake'. It's not even a government or leadership thing; to a large extent Nigerians are not liberal. You can't blame them either. It's just the way people see things.

@AjanleKoko

pls can you comment on my question.

@my peace,

Have you gotten what you asked for?
