Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will lead and coordinate UN agencies, funds, and programmes in Nigeria, ensuring they work together effectively on development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding priorities. Day-to-day, you engage with government officials, civil society, and donors to align strategies, oversee joint programming, and report on progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Expect high-level diplomatic meetings, frequent travel within Nigeria, and crisis management when needed.
Key skills to highlight
Strong strategic planning and multi-stakeholder coordination skills, with proven experience in UN or similar international systems. Show expertise in resource mobilisation, results-based management, and conflict-sensitive programming. Fluency in English is essential; knowledge of local Nigerian languages is a plus. Demonstrate cultural adaptability and a track record of leading diverse teams in complex environments.
Taf4All CV tip
Add a "Coordinating Results" section with 2-3 bullet points showing how you aligned multiple partners (e.g., government agencies, NGOs) to achieve a measurable outcome in Africa. Use numbers: "Led 5 UN agencies to deliver 20% faster emergency response in Northeast Nigeria." This directly mirrors the Resident Coordinator’s core role.
Before you apply
Verify this posting on the official UN Careers site (careers.un.org) or the UN Nigeria website. Never pay for application processing, interviews, or job offers—legitimate UN roles are free. Check the recruiter’s email domain ends in .un.org or @un.org.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
