Hi everyone, I'm not an expat but my husband is, and he's v keen to live and work in Lagos. He's worked in shipping his entire career and is looking for work along those lines here.
I'd be grateful for any leads, advice, info etc around what shipping-related job opportunities there are for expatriates. EG what companies in Lagos should we be looking at, that pay well, offer security, encourage a good work/life balance (i.e. not slave drivers) that sort of thing.
I've lived in Nigeria practically all my life but just realising I know nothing about an entire industry (shipping) in my own country! Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks

Hey, I don't have any specific link but you can try this link http://www.shipperscouncil.com/listofsh … panies.htm .I heard the shipping sector can be a slave drivin experience depending on your field and position because it's a busy one, but don't take my word for it. Most of the companies are located in Apapa where the major ports are and I think there might be some in the Marina area, not sure. I hope the link helps with your research. Good luck.
