Nigeria combines a large development sector with a major humanitarian response. Abuja hosts UN agencies, embassies and international NGOs, Lagos is a centre for private-sector and social-enterprise work, and the humanitarian response in the North-East, particularly Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, employs many national and international staff.
Expect roles in health, nutrition, protection, education, livelihoods, governance, research and programme operations, plus consultancies and graduate opportunities.
