Hi Fellow aviators, i am looking for current info on recruitment for airlines in nigeria for low time cpl/ir what the prospects are and recruitment practises, i,e where/how to apply and interview process etc ? Will appreciate any info/advice given plus if any one has recently gone through it, you can pm me if you prefer.

Nationality?

Nationality has a role to play in all this. All the carriers you mentioned are going through a bit of financial difficulty as result there is a strong preference for Nigerian pilots. It doesn't make any financial sense to employ expats unless there is an urgent need for ready made pilots. Most Nigerian airlines have been expat heavy due to inability of their flight ops depts to come up with proper recruitment or training policies.
At the moment the Nigerian government is scrutinising the expatriate quota. Also the NCAA will not issue validations to low experience expats.

If you are nigerian then I believe the opportunities abound

Hi capt Manuvar,
Thanks for the info very welcomed i am nigerian although been outa the country for a while i intend on coming to job hunt, and hope to get something, i have been told i need to convert to nigerian license current FAA i am not sure what this involves i suppose air law ? As you rightly said there isnt much info on recruitment policies/procedures as their respect websites dont offer much info except for air nigeria which have the info posted as for the others i guess its the old turn up with cv in hand or who you know trick.
