if I should study civil engineer in UNN will I have the opportunity to get a job?
Civil engineering can be a lucrative course to study in Nigeria, as it is a field that is in high demand. Civil engineers are responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining the infrastructure that supports society, such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems.
Nigeria has a significant need for infrastructure development and maintenance, particularly in rapidly growing cities. As a result, there is a growing demand for civil engineers in both the public and private sectors.
Additionally, civil engineering is a well-respected profession that often comes with high salaries and good job security. However, as with any profession, the level of income you can expect will depend on various factors, including your experience, education, and the specific industry you work in.
Overall, suppose you are interested in civil engineering and are willing to work hard to gain the necessary skills and experience. In that case, it can be a rewarding and lucrative career choice in Nigeria.
