The following Career Opportunities are available for you
to take advantage of in the Nigerian Construction
Industry due to the recent increase of construction
activities in the Nigerian economy.



1. Architect


Nigeria is undoubtedly one of the fastest urbanizing
countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Close to 50% of
Nigeria’s population now live in urban areas that heralds
more demand for infrastructure. In response to this
growing need for housing, the Government in alignment
with their vision 2020 goals is aiming to build as many as
350,000 houses.
For architects, these houses literally equals to 350,000
architectural designs. Meaning, there’s an enormous
demand for more architects in Nigeria. They will never be
short on demand as long as the Nigerian population
keeps on increasing, there will be need for houses and
those houses need to be first designed by an architect
before they are built.




2. Builder


With more buildings being erected and more public
infrastructures being constructed, certainly there will be
more construction sites to be managed across Nigeria.
This is the role of the builder.
They are the on-site professionals who supervise the
actual construction process to ensure that work being
done by the construction companies or contractors are
in accordance to the designs and plans of both the
architects and civil engineers.
They are not the same thing as project managers as you
will soon discover below. Their work is to supervise the
work of the contractors to ensure that they adhere to
the construction designs and plans.




3.Civil Engineer


As Nigeria’s urbanization trend continues, not only will
residential buildings be in high demand, so also will be
other infrastructural amenities such as roads, rails,
bridges, canals, dams, drainage, water supply system,
pavements, airports, public structures, and other
physical and natural infrastructures that benefit the
general public.
Civil engineering is the professional discipline that is
responsible for designing and planning all these physical
and natural environmental infrastructures. They define all
the whole aspects of the infrastructural projects from
the materials to use, to the construction equipment, and
also ensuring that construction related laws and
regulations are followed.




4.Quantity Surveyor


Construction projects costs a lot of money and without
an adequate understanding and estimation of the varying
costs associated with construction projects, contractors
can run out of budget and face the risk of project
abandonment.
This is where Quantity Surveyors come in handy; they
are the professionals responsible for figuring out just
what a construction project is going to cost. Quantity
surveyors have this title because they prepare a
‘schedule of quantities’ — estimates of the material and
labour costs — that contractors’ quote can be measured
against.
The implication of this for charting a career in the
Nigerian construction industry is simple; government as
well as private investors before embarking on any
construction projects will need to carry out a feasibility
study that will inform them of the project costs.
Meaning for as many quantity surveyors out there,
government and private investors are counting on your
skills to help them figure out how much their proposed
construction projects will cost.




5. Facilities Manager


All the structures that are going to be developed are
eventually going to be utilized for the purpose which
they were created. And as people begin to use these
structures, they will certainly require regular up keeping
such as; cleaning, repairs and maintenance etc.
The professionals charged with this responsibility are the
facility managers. Facilities managers ensure the smooth
running of buildings, such as; office blocks, arenas,
schools, convention centers, shopping complexes,
hospitals, hotels, stadium, etc.
With the ongoing increase of infrastructural development
in Nigeria, more public structures will need the services
of facilities managers. Charting your career along this
profession can land you a job with any property
development company where you can be assigned the
responsibility of taking care of their public facilities as
well as that of their clients.





6. Project Manager


On a construction site, the PM –project manager is the
boss.
The construction project manager is not only responsible
for planning the work and making sure it gets done, but
also supervising the people who do it. That means
coordinating and directing the efforts of construction
workers. It also means hiring, disciplining and perhaps
even firing those who step out of line.
In other words, it’s the PM’s job to get the work done
through other people. In this and in many other ways,
the PM is no different than a manager in any other job
field.
The career opportunities for project managers in Nigeria
is directly linked to the increasing infrastructural projects
being undertaken by the government as well as private
investors. Meaning that for every construction project
that is to be undertaken within any given period, there’s
an opportunity awaiting you to become the project
manager.




7. Electrical/ Electronics Engineer


Residential buildings will need power, who doesn’t want
to live in a well lit, well powered environment? So also
will roads need light, as well as airports, railway stations
and other public and environmental infrastructures.
The professionals charged with this responsibility of
designing, planning and supervising all the power related
tasks of a construction project are the electrical/
electronic engineers. The main role of electrical
engineers in construction projects is to supervise the
electricians in handling all the electrical works
considering the safety and quality requirements.
So if you are an electrical engineer, or wish to build a
career in electrical engineering, the Nigerian construction
space is teeming with projects that require your
professional expertise.




8. Structural Engineer


Structural engineering — a specialty within the field of
civil engineering — focuses on the framework of
structures, and on designing those structures to
withstand the stresses and pressures of their
environment and remain safe, stable and secure
throughout their use. In other words, structural engineers
make sure that buildings don’t fall down and bridges
don’t collapse.
Within the Nigerian context, to ensure that all the
350,000 proposed housing projects in accordance with
the vision 2020 development goals, are built to last,
structural engineers will be in high demand.
Also, to meet up with the current urbanization trends in
the country, structural engineers will be needed to
ensure that the public infrastructures being erected are
safe, stable and secure throughout their use.




9. Health and Safety Manager



With more construction sites comes more risk and
danger, especially to the people working on these
construction sites as well as the neighboring residents.
Meaning there will be a growing need for health and
safety managers on every construction site across
Nigeria, who will be hired to work on either government
or privately sponsored projects.
They will be responsible for protecting construction
workers’ health and safety by making sure potential risks
and dangers on the construction sites are properly
controlled. They ensure employers comply with all
aspects of health and safety laws and that workplaces
are not the cause off ill-health, injury or even death.




10. Waste Consultant


It’s obvious as the Nigerian urbanization trend keeps
increasing, and more houses are being built, more roads,
more bridges and more rails are being constructed, the
amount of waste created as a result of all these
infrastructural projects will increase.
So who will be responsible for managing all these
wastes?
That’s where waste management consultancy comes in;
they provide practical advice to construction managers
and engineers on all waste prevention, minimization,
reuse, recycling, energy recovering and final disposal.
You can tap into this opportunity and begin to acquire
relevant skills and training to position yourself as a waste
management consultant. Not only will you increase your
odds of being employed, you can also venture out on
your own as an entrepreneur selling your waste
management expertise to private companies as well as
government institutions.





Conclusion
There are still many other career opportunities that the
Nigerian construction industry offers that is not listed
here. It is high time Nigerian job seekers start paying
attention to the Nigerian construction industry for career
opportunities because it is yet an untapped industry.

There seems to be some disquiet in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) ahead of the imminent shake-up by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Legal Services and Company Secretary Ikechukwu Oguine has resigned, The Nation learnt yesterday.

Deputy Group Managing Director/ Group Executive Director (Finance and Account) Bernard Otti’s fate remained unclear last night, following his sudden trip abroad immediately after the inauguration of the President.

A source said he was away for medical reasons.

It was learnt that more officers may retire or voluntarily withdraw their services from NNPC to beat the imminent purge.

But an official said there was no cause for panic in the corporation.

Fears of a massive purge have gripped top managers of the NNPC, the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC) and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) over the controversial crude oil swap.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “Some top management staff of NNPC and its subsidiaries have opted to leave the system ahead of the likely reorganisation of the corporation by the President.

“Some of those affected include a few in high-profile offices, who were engaged by the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, against the provisions of the NNPC Act.”

The source, who pleaded not to be named because of “the sensitivity” of the matter, did not name such “backdoor” employees.

He went on: “There are some professionals who also do not want their career rubbished by the looming shake-up of the sector by Buhari.

“The NNPC company secretary has resigned and he even paid three months salaries in lieu of notice. He said he wants to go back to his consultancy firm if he does not find the environment challenging.

“Actually, he gave himself a year target to take stock of things in NNPC and having been appointed on April 7, 2014, he decided to leave on personal grounds.”

Otti, according to some NNPC sources, took a sick leave; others merely said he had not been seen in office since Buhari was inaugurated as President.

Before the inauguration, there had been arguments on the legality of Otti’s appointment.

Another source said: “There had been unease in NNPC over Otti’s office. The appointment of a Deputy Group Managing Director is unknown to NNPC statute; it is illegal and whatever document or contract the man had signed as a holder of this office is untenable in law.

“The management staff have been having a sort of cold war because it is an aberration to combine the post of Group Executive Director, Finance and Account and the office of Deputy GMD.”

A source close to Otti said: “He went for medical check-up; he should be back on Thursday. But his job does not suffer because someone is acting for him.”

Some members of the management staff, who are believed to have been brought into the system through the backdoor, may leave before the proposed purge.

An official said: “More staff may go to beat Buhari to the game. They have also realised that they cannot fit into the system because they don’t have the technical capability.

“A few others who are linked to the crude oil swap in PPMC and NPDC may leave. In fact, some of them in NPDC have not been coming regularly to office.

“We operate in fear because we do not know the type of reforms the President may initiate.”

Another NNPC source said Oguine was on a year contract that elapsed last month.

“Oguine has a consulting firm he ran in the United Kingdom before his appointment. On the expiration of the contract, he chose to go back to UK to join his family and face his private consultancy firm wholly. The board of NNPC even offered to renew his appointment but he preferred to go back to his private business. There was no problem,” the source added.

Otti, according to the source, went to the United States to treat his eyes and will be back to office this week. The source also noted that there was no panic in the corporation as the board just sat yesterday and there was no information about officials who intend to resign before new appointments are made by the new government. There is also no information on any planned major shake-up in the corporation by the Federal Government, the source added.

President Buhari has on many occasions vowed to probe the NNPC.

During the campaigns, he promised to probe the $20 billion alleged to be missing from the coffers of the oil giant by Emir of Kano Muhammed Sanusi, a claim he made when he was the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan sacked him from the CBN for the claim which he considered untrue aand embarrassing to his government.

Speaking in Yola as President-elect, Buhari said: “I heard that some people have started refunding money, but I will not believe until I see it.

“His royal highness, the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was removed from the Central bank because he said that about $20 billion was missing, instead of the government to investigate the matter, they refused, instead they sacked him.

“He has already written a detail report on it, the incoming government will not ignore it, even though we have promised to draw a line, but $20 billion is too big to ignore. This is Nigerian money and it must be investigated,” Buhari said.

Last week during the African Union Summit in South Africa, Buhari also gave another evidence of the rot in the NNPC when he described as “improper” the holding of many accounts by the NNPC.

Former British Prime Minster Tony Blair also advised the president to overhaul the NNNPC if he must succeed.
