Jobberman instituted the Best Places to Work in Nigeria to provide a comprehensive rating of employee satisfaction and commitment across employers in Nigeria.
The 2013 Best Companies to Work rankings include 50 multinationals , 45 majorly Nigerian companies and 12 government agencies.
METHODOLOGY
To find the companies that were the best places to get vacancies, Jobberman.com conducted more than 10,000 surveys of employees in Nigeria. Over 5000 companies were submitted by 10,482 respondents (experienced, entry level and exec management). 89% of those who filled the survey were gainfully employed. Only companies with at least 100 full-time permanent employees were considered.
The index was calculated by getting a weighted average of each recipient’s top 5 companies and dream company to work for. Recipients also selected workplace metrics that mattered to them in making these choices – Company Culture, Salary, Non-Salary Benefits, Proximity to Company Location, Prestige/Company Brand, Management Integrity and commitment to staff welfare.
The Top 10 places to work for in Nigeria are:

Varied insights have been drawn by analysts as to these data. It was very clear on what most employees considered important in selecting what they would call their “dream” company. Salary (Remuneration) was the most important metric employees considered in rating companies, thus resulting in the oil and gas sectors topping the chart of best companies to work for. From the survey results, there is clearly hope for indigenous companies in the next few decades as they continue to grow and dominate the economic landscape amidst existence of established multinationals doing business in Nigeria.

I don’t agree with the list…. What of CBN, DPR, NPA, and NCC
Hello Adeyinka,
Thanks for going through the list. Please bear in mind that these companies listed here were based on the responses of respondents of the survey, which produced this outcome. You are however, free to agree or diagree with the list. Perhaps, you would like to be a part of our next edition of the Top 100 Best Nigerian Companies to Work For. Thanks for baring your mind on the report.
As expected, in a country where the standard of living of majority is low, amount of renumeration ranks highest in the respondents’ choice of best places to work in.
When the structure of the economy improves I expect that non-monetary components will have a higher rating from respondents than they currently do.
Hello Olusola,
Thanks for the comment and more importantly, you have raised very salient points. Remuneration and career ambitions are isolated and placed on the same pedestal for majority. Perhaps, when Nigerians begin to understand how an ideal organisation is expected to function, they would understand and appreciate non-monetary components much more. We believe exposure and experience has a huge role to play in this. Wishing you a pleasant day.
Olusola and Samod your comments are valid, It is a pity we are in this mess in Nigeria where there is large gap disparity in employee salaries, Many of the organisations listed here whom are are all multinationals makes more money in Nigeria than any other place in the world and comparably pay less than their international placement. Our lack of basic pay rate in Nigeria has caused this. In Uk for instance, citizens do not have to work for multinationals , the same pay grade applicable in the local firms is at par with the big multinationals, many people I personally know are contented with what they do talented people in this local firms would be able to bring good input and make such firms progress also citizen may be working as a professionals with the council, or even as a bus driver they do not have to cring to the kind of madness in Nigeria where everyone want to work for multinationals because of the paygrade, Imagine a managers salary in many company in Nigeria may be * 10 of the clerks and yet they both work the same hours. The fact is that if Nigerian government could enforce a minimum amount of living hour payment throughout the country for whatever jobs, whether as a cleaner or a gate man this will go along way to change the orientation of people and Nigeria entirely. we can be better if the industry and minimum wage value enough and applicable across industries and sectors.
