Without any doubt or question asked, Lagos remains the center of Nigerian’s Economy, and the largest center of commerce in the whole Africa.

Following after Lagos state, is the Federal Capital Territory – Abuja.

And also, don’t forget the presence of those huge government-owned establishment and Parastatals.

The Last but not the least, is Oyo state. To be more specific on that, I’m referring to Ibadan, because 8 out of ten vacancies in Oyo state is taken in Ibadan, the state capital. In fact, this is not just the case of Oyo state alone, all the aforementioned states are characterized with more job opportunities in the state capital, and few scattered among other local government of the state with exception to Borno State.
