Hello Priscilla
Nigeria is a country that has experienced a currency problem for a number of years now.
It would not be a good time to work for a local company.
Main thing to ensure is that a visa is included that allows multiple entry. Other forms of visa do not comply with anti slavery laws.
It is easy to get trapped in Nigeria and not many other places will value experience in Nigeria.
Negative international reputation for a number of reasons.
