About ObiKwaJobs.com
ObiKwaJobs.com is a free national opportunity and policy-data platform created to ensure that the skills, aspirations and challenges of Nigerians are seen, heard and understood.
Inspired by the vision of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, to create millions of opportunities and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty, and the commitment of His Excellency, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to education and human-capital development, the platform will connect leadership with the real needs of the people.
It will enable Nigerians across every geopolitical zone, state, local government and ward, and Nigerians living abroad, to share what they can do, what they hope to achieve and what is preventing them from moving forward.
These insights will help His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, His Excellency, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) understand the unique needs and opportunities within every community. The data will provide a foundation for policies and programmes that create jobs, strengthen businesses, develop skills, support farmers and open new pathways out of poverty.
ObiKwaJobs.com represents a new kind of politics, one that listens, learns and turns the aspirations of Nigerians into practical opportunities.
The numbers behind the plan
Most Nigerians can't afford to be without any work at all, which is why the official unemployment rate looks low. The problem is the kind of work people can find, and what it pays.
- 63%
- of Nigerians are expected to live below the national poverty line in 2026, up from 40% in 2019.
- World Bank, Poverty & Equity Brief, October 2026
- 139 million
- Nigerians are living in poverty.
- World Bank, Country Partnership Framework for Nigeria, 2026–2032
- 93%
- of workers are in informal jobs, without a contract, pension or social protection.
- National Bureau of Statistics, Labour Force Survey, Q2 2024
- 13%
- of the labour force is out of work or can't get enough hours: 4.3% unemployed under the NBS's revised method, and 9.2% working fewer hours than they want. The World Bank's estimate puts unemployment at 3.1% in 2025.
- National Bureau of Statistics, Labour Force Survey, Q2 2024; World Bank, World Development Indicators
- 3.5 million

- World Bank, Nigeria overview
- 27 million
- new jobs are needed between 2025 and 2030, about 4.5 million a year, just to keep unemployment from rising.
- Nigerian Economic Summit Group, From Hustle to Decent Work, October 2025
On the current path, the World Bank expects poverty to ease only to 61% by 2028 (Nigeria Development Update, October 2026). That is too slow for families who are struggling today.
Pulling Nigerians out of poverty means creating millions of jobs that pay enough to live on, and starting straight away. His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, and His Excellency, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, plan to do that from their first day in office: work in agriculture, roads and housing, power, health, education, manufacturing and the digital economy, with loans for small businesses, support for people out of work, and training. Every application here shows where people are, what they can do and what they need, so those jobs can be planned where they are needed most.
