I am amazed with the replies this thread have generated. I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist. There are amazing opportunities in this field. As a dietitian, you can work in health centres, hospitals etc.....using medical nutrition therapy to manage different diet related ailments such as (but not limited to) diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, gout, CVA etc..... Believe me, it is amazing. For the salary, it is lucrative (comparable to other para medical discipline in the health profession). You are started with CONHESS 9 Step 2 (in UNTH) or CONHESS 8 step 2 (other hospitals). As a nutritionist, you can work in HMOs, NGOs, agencies like NAFDAC, SON etc. You can also work as a medical delegate or nutrition advisor to multinationals like Nestle, Promasidor etc. 1 Like |

If you can afford to take a Masters or Diploma in Public Health...you can get a good job with NGO . UNICEF has declared malnutrition an emergency in North- East Nigeria so you are on point now. But of course,you will have to be willing to relocate to the North...that is where the money is. All the best. |

CaraJewel: Hello Cara, People with such qualifications can be would in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, companies like FrieslandCampina (makers of Peak etc), Nestle etc need them as executive sales rep, because of their knowledge of Nutrition. These companies produce "Infant Toddler" (IFT) milk, like Peak 123 and Peak 456, NAN, FRISO etc. These products cannot be advertised on TV, so Nutritionist are hired to visit health care facilities and try to convince doctor to recommend their products to mothers and their babies. Salary range is like 3m/pa(250k a mth) to 6m(500k), depending or your level and organization you work for. where I work, they are called Medical Detailing Managers (MDMs) not to worry that one na just big name. hope this helps, I could help with more details if u want. regards. |

CaraJewel: u can open your own firm and become a consultant dietician. Target an area with well to do rich fat men & women and create good diet plans that will make them loose weight. print fliers and share it in d churches and schools within d area. make sure u look slim and good, they will start coming for ur services in order to loose weight. u can also top it up with baking and showcasing snacks for sale. GRA's, Housing Estates and newly developed areas will make a good site. d poster above me is on point too |

They are dieticians, they run consultancies on food and nutrition, they can also be cooks supervisors/head cooks in badges, oil companies, hotels, government houses... ... But their chances are limited in Nigeria because, Africans feel they can eat whatever and life goes on and would want to spend money on food consultancies like the whites...(Dirty/junk no deh kill Africa man). |

braniac11: This knowledgeable person has answered you so well. To add to it, your expertise is also needed in paedratic centres and fmcg that specializes in baby products. however, like he rightly said. if you wish to go far in this department, you need to engage in internship and free services inorder to develop yourself and have a hand-on approach. Secondaly, if you are buoyant, kindly go to ghana (uni legon ) to be precise. Theire is a special faculty with well funded necessities for your course and health organizations from foreign countries do come in often to recruit. Goodluck 1 Like 3 Shares |
