At the moment, your focus should be graduating with a good grade. A good grade will give you a good platform to get a good job. Many graduate jobs in Nigeria only require good grades to be considered irrespective of discipline. This includes banks, audit firms and other financial institutions.
Besides, some oil firms, notably NNPC employs biochemists as research assistants, lab technicians, and HSE officers (NNPC employs a significant number of biochemists). Biochemists are also involved in the current NLNG recruitment campaign. As a matter of fact, I know a first class biochemist who joined Shell as a graduate trainee. It must however be noted the demand for biochemists in the oil industry in Nigeria (and even beyond) is low.
Many FCMG companies (such as Reckitt Benchiser, Nestle, Coca Cola, etc) recruit biochemists too. Most notably, the brewing industry in Nigeria make use of the services of biochemists as brewers.
Furthermore, biochemists are involved in ongoing researches in developed countries to find cheaper, environmentally friendly and renewable source of energy with particular focus on biofuels (biogas, bioethanol and biodiesel).
In addition, biochemists are employed by some government agencies and parastatals such as NAFDAC and NABDA (National Biotechnology Development Agency).
There is the medical aspect of biochemistry (medical biochemistry) which I don't know much about. However, I don't think it's a popular career line in Nigeria as job vacancies for medical biochemists are highly limited.

A biochemist in the house can also help out!

Cheers....


SEASON'S GREETINGS TO ALL

I will try to finish with the best possible grade,God help me.Thanks alot bro.

Good evening,Happy Christmas.I hope we all had a nice day.
I am a final year student of biochemistry but I am shocked by the little opportunity avaliable in our industries for me after the hard work in school. Although,there are opportunities in the teaching line at all levels,I still feel there is more to the situation than I know.
Please I need the great minds in the house to share their experiences.All advice are welcomed

I am a final year student of Biochemistry at Funaab.Merry Christmas
