As a young Nigerian with no job, life can be difficult because many people have to mature so fast in a country with a high unemployment rate like Nigeria. Also, the job field is leaving the older generation of Nigerians behind due to the poor living conditions of many, along with unfavorable or no retirement plans for the older generation. This is forcing many to retire early or settle for a trade.
This also means the younger generation has to pick up the Nigeria labor force and help propel many up-and-coming companies. However, many young Nigerians between 18 and 30 find it hard to unlock their dream career. Many don’t know where to start their job search or how to navigate the job market.
Many tech startups are hiring from Nigeria and their human resources software is outsourced to Nigerian-based companies like WorkFlowsHR, SeamlessHr, and others. This means that it’s now easier to find well-paying jobs in Nigeria and to be able to earn a good living.
