What is the talent pool like in Nigeria?
Nigeria is the platform's third-largest market and its English coverage is the highest measured anywhere on it, at 99.5% of visible workers. English is an official language and the language of education, so fluency is the norm rather than a filter.
The pool skews younger and more digitally native than most, with strong representation in social media and marketing roles alongside chatting. Lagos and Abuja account for much of it.
Because the timezone is effectively European, this is the market to look at when you want live overlap with a UK or EU based team rather than asynchronous handovers.
When is Nigeria online?
UTC+1
One timezone nationwide, one hour ahead of UTC. In practice that is the same working day as the UK and most of Western Europe, which makes Nigeria the closest thing on this platform to hiring into your own timezone if you are European.
