As a British born Naija. I wan come do service after my MSc with a view to full employment where I undertake the service.

Which do you think is better? Govt or Private. I will look to hustle the opportunity well in advance but generally which will more likely lead to retention ?

I think you have a better prospect in the private sector. Government's recruitment is seasonal and it's often done on federal character principle. So, you might be left out. Also the pay and learning in the private sector is something to hustle for, especially the MNCs, banks etc.

what is your specialisation? How marketable is it in the labour market?

My recommendation/suggestion remains the private sector.

Ya. . . The private sector remains the best ever in terms of experience and prospect, except you paddle your way to places like NNPC, NAMA etc. where the big and mighty swing with the Nigeria Naira.

Msc Management pending
1 year work experience estate agent.

was looking to enter something like 'national bureau of procurement' for the service basically govt. However some have advise me that being under 30 govt wont employ,

Although Id rather do Govt, 90% employment chance is what im after. Im sure I can do the job well anywhere,

Lastly Im not so sure on Lagos o, I prefer the calmness of Abuja coming from Ldn and im very much aware that the private institutions are mostly Lag and PH.

Baring in mind Ive never live Naija but have been countless times,

1) Views on the above

2) Your views on some of the professional qulaification as extra 'CFA' etc ? Not sure if its worth it for me.

3) Is it only Lag,Abj, PH with solid job prospect how about KD,Kano? maybe less competion lol.

I am not sure of the above assertion, in fact, i have never heard of it. There are countless people under 30 who are working for the govt.Very many of them. So, the above statement may not be completely true.

Govt job is hard to come by because most govt employments are based on connection, ''who know who'' basis. I don't know how strong your contacts are but one thing is for sure- you need a very long leg to get a govt job these days. But in private sector you can always hustle your way through. Also, coming with a UK degree it may be easier to get a job in the private sector than the public sector because that (private sector) is where your degree and knowledge is mostly valued.

Lastly Im not so sure on Lagos o, I prefer the calmness of Abuja coming from Ldn and im very much aware that the private institutions are mostly Lag and PH.

Yes, majority of the jobs are in lagos and few others in PH. However, you might get a job that may require you to be posted to Abuja or any other place. Some people get jobs in lagos and later get posted to other states where the org have branches. So, spread your net wider.

2) Your views on some of the professional qulaification as extra 'CFA' etc ? Not sure if its worth it for me.

I don't think you need the CFA, except you want to go into finance or IB. However, i think project mgt certification or supply chain mgt will be okay for you. They are also in high demand here, especially the PMP stuff.

3) Is it only Lag,Abj, PH with solid job prospect how about KD,Kano? maybe less competion lol.

I don't know the outlook of the job market in kano but i can only say - prepare for any situation. The competition will always be stiff anywhere. There are thousands of young graduates, so many of them with UK degrees and certifications without jobs. The best you can do is to leverage on your ''foreign degree,'' networking skills, connection and then prepare for aptitude test and interviews.

^ thanks for input bro

Also. How big is 'supply chain finance' in naija? I've looked at the field but do banks actually partake in such? Personally think it would be very useful in a place like naija?
