Looking at it from a bigger perspective, the list should be Lagos Abuja Rivers Ogun Borno You can't restrict job search to capital cities alone. In job hunting today, the luxury of choosing location has been eliminated by the scarcity of jobs. More candidates seem to be heading towards the north-east for juicy international NGOs jobs on a daily basis, irrespective of the security challenges there. 34 Likes 1 Share |
