The Impact of Digitalization on Employment in Nigeria

Digitalization may be changing jobs, but it’s not something to fear—it’s something to embrace. Those who learn how to use tech will not only stay relevant—they will lead.

 

 

 

 

In recent years, digitalization has transformed the way people work across the world—and Nigeria is no exception. From how we shop to how we bank, communicate, and even learn, technology is reshaping the job market faster than many people realize.

 

At Goglow Hub, we see firsthand how digital tools are not just replacing old jobs—they are also creating new ones, empowering Nigerians with opportunities that were once out of reach.

 

 

What Is Digitalization?

Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change how things are done. It includes the use of:

Internet and smartphones

Online platforms (like Zoom, WhatsApp, and Facebook)

Cloud computing

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Digital payment systems

It has made many industries faster, smarter, and more connected.

 

 

 The Shift in Job Types

Digitalization is affecting both traditional jobs and creating new tech-based jobs. Here's how:

Jobs Being Replaced or Transformed:

Cashiers → replaced by mobile banking & POS systems

Travel agents → replaced by online booking platforms

Typists → replaced by self-service apps & word processors

 

 

 Jobs Being Created:

Social Media Managers

Digital Marketers

Web Developers

Data Analysts

Online Tutors

Freelance Graphics Designers

App Developers

Cybersecurity Experts

These are jobs you can learn without a university degree, and many of them allow remote work—meaning you can earn in naira or even dollars, right from your home in Nigeria.

 

 

 

 The Nigerian Reality

In Nigeria today, youth unemployment is high, but digitalization is providing a way out. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and YouTube allow skilled Nigerians to offer services and earn income online.

Even local businesses are waking up to the digital era. More shops want people who can:

Run Facebook and Instagram ads

Build simple websites

Edit product videos

Design flyers and banners

This is where Goglow Hub comes in.
