To be an academic, you have to be real passionate about research, as well as teaching

If you are not, then academics is not for you

I would like to be a Lecturer at any higher institution (college of education, polytechnic or university either public or private) How do I go about it and is there any private university recruiting. Please help a Nairalander sad

Government universities hire based on who they know. And this is more pronounced in state universities. So your best bet is to know a senior staff in the university who will "help" you get in.

Since you're already running a PHD, get closer to your lecturers and help them with things like teaching students (if they'll allow) and supervising student's projects. Many unis hire lecturer assistants or something like that, who are basically Masters students that help lecturers and the school faculty with a few tasks here and there.

Check if your school has that program. Also speak to your lecturers and let them know you're seeking a job in academics. If they don't "help" you into the school, they could help you into another one.
