Questions about applying
What ObiKwaJobs is, who can apply and what happens next.
What is ObiKwaJobs?
ObiKwaJobs is a free platform where Nigerians at home and abroad apply for jobs, unemployment support, business loans and grants, skills training and student stipends. It is built on the promise of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, and His Excellency, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to create millions of jobs and pull Nigerians out of poverty. Each application shows what people can do and need, area by area, so programmes can reach them.
How do you spell ObiKwaJobs?
As one word, for Obi, Kwankwaso and jobs: ObiKwaJobs. The address is obikwajobs.com.
Is it free to apply?
Yes. Applying is free. If anyone asks you to pay to apply, or to move up a list, it is not ObiKwaJobs.
Who can apply?
Any Nigerian looking for work, support, finance or training: students, NYSC members, graduates, people out of work, artisans, farmers, traders and entrepreneurs, in every state and abroad.
What do I need to apply?
Your name, email address and phone number, your state and local government area (or that you live outside Nigeria), and the opportunity you want. You can also continue with Google, which fills in your name and email.
How long does it take?
About two minutes. After that, a few questions about what you're applying for. Every answer is picked from a list, so they take a few minutes more.
Can I apply from outside Nigeria?
Yes. Use a phone number from any country and choose “I live outside Nigeria” at the end of the state list. Add the country you live in and your state of origin once you're in.
Does applying guarantee me a job, loan or stipend?
No. ObiKwaJobs records expressions of interest so that programmes can be planned around them. It is not an employment agency, and applying does not guarantee a job, loan, benefit or financial assistance.
What happens after I apply?
A link arrives by email to confirm your address. Then you answer a few questions about what you're applying for and add your community, so programmes can be planned where people actually live.
I didn't get the email. What should I do?
If it isn't in your inbox, check your junk or spam folder and mark it as not spam. You can ask for a new link from the sign-in page.
How do I sign in?
With Google, or with a link or six-digit code sent to your email. There is no password to remember or reset.
How is my information used?
To understand the skills, plans and obstacles of Nigerians, community by community. Reports use totals by area, not named individuals, and your data is never sold. Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask to see, correct or delete it. The privacy notice has the details.
