Hello, i am opening this thread for professionals with few or more years experience, consultants, and those wishing to switch careers. There are alot of job postings for fresh graduates but few for experienced professionals also. They are individuals who need to advance their careers. So if you are someone with some good amount of working experience (or minimum of 2 years), then this thread is for you.

Please no thread derailers, or spammers. I will do my best to post latest (and even unannounced) vacancies.

Thanks.

Background

Nigeria was ruled by the military for 30 out of the 52 years of her independence and this has had a considerable effect on elections and good governance, eroding constitutional federalism through massive centralisation of power and resources at the centre, violation of the rights of citizens and wearing away of the rule of law. This situation is worsened by a culture of arbitrariness and impunity that has resulted in high levels of corruption and an upsurge in crimes and criminalities which encouraged militancy in the Niger Delta, kidnapping in the South east and climaxed in the emergence of the dreaded Islamist insurgents – Boko Haram – in northern Nigeria particularly the north east since 2009. Also compounding this is the growing Fulani-herdsmen and communal clashes in the North Central states.
