If you like the job , then take it. The point I don't understand is the allowance stuff.

I won't be paid fully but I will be given something that will cover my transportation...

In another words , you are yet to get an appointment letter . because you appointment letter (employment letter) should detail your salary and emolument .
And the letter should state the condition of service .

Most, if not all corporate companies have standard probationary period, it could be 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and even for some banks 2 years.
Though the terms and conditions differ (some pay full salary, some pay percentage of your salary, some withhold some bonuses, etc), notwithstanding they still give probationary period.
If you like the organization, I will advise you accept it. But you may want to ask them now what their full terms and pay package entails after confirmation of your employment.

Spot on

I suggest you take that job. You might stay him for that same 3 months and still won't have a job

its better than sitting at home and waiting for the big oil job.......grab it with both hands and do ur best ......and always turn up early ......nothing as bad as waiting fornthe big job that might never come.......alot of ppl will dive at this chance if u slack

This nonsense must end in 2018. Stop working for free..

why not...grab it bro....nothing good comes that easy and please don't grudge or show discomfort to their face cos you will be watched on 3D.
just put up a smiling face and do your thing...God will be with you...Amen

Oga, go start that job except you have a better alternative

If your company is of good integrity and you perform well, they will pay all your basic salary after the probation.

Give it a try, life itself is a risk

As long as it's government job. Otherwise, still maintain your job status as "Actively seeking".

Modified
To answer your question, accept, especially if it is something along your career line. At times, anything can spring up from anywhere.

If you don't have something else doing please accept it. You learn everyday.

if you have no work experience and its in your field of study, you better take it

Any salary withing the period?

You not giving details but asking for advice ...

What exactly are the terms of service


What exactly is expected of you


What exactly is expected of your employer

What indices / performance tarvets are you supposed to meet...I.e how will your work be appraised etc

Are you currently employed?

At what stage would an offer letter be tendered?

Ask of your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) inorder to know how your performance would be measured this is to ensure you don't go about scoring goals when you're job was to keep the post.

All the best!

is it an entry level job? if not, then you should have a salary not a mere allowance, even in probation. moreso, you have a right to negotiate that salary. but for entry level, it is understandable, you could take it to get your feet in.. but he should give you an employment letter for the probation, then after probation demand for a confirmation letter.

as you go on, learn to monetarise your worth/services, that way you would know what is fair game rather than just saying yes to whatever an employer wishes to pay at first. in the Nigeria labour market, every employer would want to pay the barest minimum, even get you to work for free if possible. learn to negotiate your salary once you get some work experience and have the competence they seek for.

Please take the job. Even in civil service job. You stay on probation for one year before confirmation. There is nothing wrong on being on probation for a specific period of time, but I will suggest you ask your employer humorously for a temporary letter of appointment stating your remuneration and other guidelines. You should suspect foul play if he decline your request. However, i still advice you take d job since you are not doing anything now. You will at least gain some job experience there which could add to your CV. Good Luck

If you have a job already, don’t take this offer. It’s a ploy to lure you out of your current salary and negotiate on their own terms.

Is it a pharmaceutical company

That's exploitation
