Pls my fellow Nairalanders,I need ur sincere and honest advice.

I have this good female friend of mine who initially had this great affinity for chemistry but of late has been apathetic to chemistry as a course. Her reasons for this sudden change of mind still remain somehow obscure and blur.When I questioned her why the sudden change of mind,she asked me "Do you think I can actually make it if I read chemistry in Nigeria?" This question I could not answer cos i I don't know any slightest answer to give...

pls my fellow good people of Nigeria, pls ur honest advice..

I don't really know much sir, apart from being a lecturer.

I hope this can get to FP so that people can contribute.

With a degree in chemistry you can work in pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing ,teaching and lecturing , research institutes ,oil and gas and many more places all you need to do is to get a good grade and the sky will be your starting point. Good luck.

As a matter of fact Musa yar adua ,Jason Njoku,,and one time NNPC president studied chemistry.
So chemistry Is a very nice course.

Do the needful, and save souls.

Having worked closely with chemistry students for a while, I'd like to give a pre-advice.

If she's the medically inclined student, she can decide to opt in for biochemistry. she will have a closer tie with the medical line than being in chemistry.

I said IF oo.. respect to Davido

Okay, that's by the way. When it comes to job opportunities, A chemistry graduate will fare better than a biochemistry graduate sef. though I'm not supposed to compare but I feel I can just give a little comparison with a similar course.

Now, when we were to undergo industrial training in 2016, Chemistry students got placements almost anywhere that products are being manufactured.
food and drinks industries
pharmaceutical industries
petroleum industries(shell Nd chevron)
research institutes
paint, plastic , foam

just name it!!!!!!

there's no industry that produces goods which doesn't have a chemistry laboratory. as biochemistry students, we couldn't really fit in these companies as they did not have biochemistry labs, so we had to work in the chemistry labs or quality control. others settled for hospitals and medical laboratories, myself included.

Given the above preface , this is where I'll start my advice.

Chemistry is a very broad field. that is why she will have better job opportunities. We have Organic chemistry, inorganic chem, physical chemistry, colour and dye chemistry, food chemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, textile chemistry, instrumentation chemistry...

so so many fields.

now let's face reality (sorry for my long sermon, I always like to touch everywhere necessary)

in Nigeria, it would be very unwise to just sit with your bachelors degree and expect a very good job to land your way. besides, you Are not given much exposure to these fields at undergraduate level. so, immediately after nysc, she should start her masters degree. That will bolden her chances cos she will be quite versed in her choice of field.

if she wants to lecture, that would be very fine too. a lot of universities offer chemistry in Nigeria. and I don't want to believe a PhD holder in chemistry will not be able to land a lecturing job in Nigeria. its not as bad as that yet. so, if it's lecturing. let her prepare her mind for BSc/B.Tech, MSc/M.Tech and a PhD.
