Quick answer: GeraJobs lists Nigerian local jobs and international remote roles open to Nigerian applicants. Salaries in naira for local roles, USD/GBP for international, with useCountry() picking the right currency. Popular categories: software, product, design, data, customer success, marketing. We list EoR-friendly employers (Deel, Remote.com, Oyster, Multiplier). NITDA data-handling, NDPR-compliant.

The Nigerian job market in 2026

Nigeria trains one of the largest pipelines of developers in Africa — Andela alumni, Decagon grads, AltSchool cohorts, and university-trained engineers from UNILAG, OAU, UI, ABU and others. Local tech pay sits at ₦300k–₦1.8m/month for senior engineers. International remote pay for the same profile sits at $3k–$10k/month. The smart career move is to get either a local senior role or an international remote role — the in-between is crowded.

Regulation and tax

Local employment sits under the Nigerian Labour Act and FIRS tax rules. Personal income tax runs up to 24% marginal. Remote contracting through Deel/Remote.com falls under contractor rules — you receive USD into a Nigerian domiciliary account or a Wise/Payoneer wallet and pay Nigerian income tax on the naira equivalent. FIRS has stepped up digital-income enforcement since 2023. Register a business with CAC if you expect sustained contractor income.

Pricing / membership in naira

Job search is free. GeraJobs Pro (AI-tailored applications, salary negotiation tools, career-coach sessions) is ₦3,500/month or ₦35,000/year. Prices in ₦ via useCountry().

Payments

Paystack, Flutterwave, Opay, Palmpay, Visa/Mastercard/Verve, bank transfer via NIBSS.

Cities and remote

Lagos (Ikeja, Victoria Island, Lekki, Yaba) has the deepest on-site pool. Abuja for public-sector and NGO roles. Port Harcourt for oil/gas. Fully remote listings default to 'worldwide' and filter by Nigeria-friendly contractor set-ups.

How we compare

Jobberman is the dominant local board. MyJobMag has strong search. LinkedIn, Wellfound and RemoteOK handle remote. We are focused on the Nigeria→remote-international corridor plus serious local tech roles, and we label every listing with contractor-setup clarity (Deel, Remote.com, Oyster, Multiplier, direct W8-BEN, etc.).
