Port Harcourt Mall, Port Harcourt. Shifts run 9 AM–6 PM (9h) on Mon–Sat (6/wk) — 1 day off a week. This career is based in Port Harcourt, which you reach from Lagos by flight or bus.
The schedule is a ceiling. Work only 3 days and you take 3 paid shifts: ₦22,200 a week at level 1, ₦180,000 at level 5. Nothing is deducted for the days you skip.
Finish the shift. Leaving early cuts the pay and lateness drops the performance bar that gates your next grade. Exact shift rules →
