Jobberman Nigeria · Abuja, Nigeria.
Applications and registration are ongoing for the Abuja Job and Career Fair 2026, an event bringing together job seekers, employers and industry professionals to explore employment opportunities, develop professional connections and gain practical career insights. The fair is designed to help participants take meaningful steps towards employment while giving employers an opportunity to meet diverse candidates and identify potential talent.
Organised by Jobberman Nigeria in collaboration with supporting organisations, the event aims to make career opportunities more accessible, particularly for women, persons with disabilities and people from underserved communities. Participants will have opportunities to engage with employers, learn about different career pathways and receive guidance on navigating the labour market.
The fair is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 22 October 2026, in Abuja, Nigeria. Arrival and registration begin at 8:30 a.m. Attendance is free for job seekers and employers. The specific venue is expected to be confirmed by the organisers.
The programme is intended for Nigerians aged 18 and above who are looking for work, considering a career change or seeking to improve their professional prospects. Employers with vacancies are also encouraged to participate. In addition to networking, the event features training sessions, career readiness activities, employer showcases, career counselling and CV reviews.
The Abuja Job and Career Fair provides a meeting point for job seekers and organisations seeking talent. Rather than limiting the experience to exchanging CVs, the event combines recruitment opportunities with practical learning and career development activities.
Job seekers can learn about employers, explore potential roles and speak with professionals who understand current workplace expectations. The programme also offers opportunities to strengthen job search strategies, improve application materials and develop the professional skills needed to navigate the labour market.
Employers can use the fair to connect with candidates from different backgrounds, introduce their organisations and build relationships with potential employees. The event also creates space for employers and industry professionals to exchange ideas and discuss recruitment needs.
