## Nigeria labour market overview
Nigeria’s labour market statistics are primarily published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which releases labour force and employment indicators. The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Bank provide comparable datasets and metadata that support cross-country analysis and time-series comparisons for Nigeria. These sources are treated as the baseline references for any analysis in this repository.[1][2][3]

Examples include the Federal Civil Service Commission and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment. This repository lists verified recruitment portals and a checklist for validating recruitment links in docs/recruitment-portals.md.[4][5]
