The first question i will like to ask is in which area are you specialized in at the moment if you are working? Also, i feel being chartered has more pedigree than msc accounting. If you are in Tax unit, why not earn CITN, if Forensic/Investigation/Audit, why not try CFE. And if you are in core accounting, just earn an MBA or Msc Mgt or Finance to broaden your knowledge.
Your present job should also determine your next line of academic pursuit

Among the options, it's better you go for MSC. Accounting other that narrowing yourself down to one field. You could work as a Tax specialist with CITN......Forensics are not yet lucrative in Nigeria also.

So it's better you go for Msc. Accounting.
