Abuja, Nigeria, June 4, 2025 — Nile University of Nigeria successfully held its 6th Annual Career Fair, a key initiative aimed at bridging the gap between academia and the professional world by connecting final-year undergraduates and postgraduate students with top employers and industry experts across various sectors.

The event welcomed over 200 corporate exhibitors and employer-partners from industries such as Finance, Consulting, Energy, FMCG, Telecommunications, Engineering, Media, and Technology. Participating organizations set up interactive booths that allowed students to engage directly with professionals, gain insights into evolving career paths, and explore how their academic training aligns with current market needs.
