Actuaries & experienced valuers are so scarce in Nigeria that at some point, i knew of one of the big 4 firms that will fly in Actuaries from SA to handle big valuation works in Nigeria when they arose.

Considering a career in Actuarial Science? Then get in here.

A thread.

If you're good with Maths, Furthermaths, Statistics or solving problems using numbers, then you should consider a career in Acturial Science. Actuarial science is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to risk in Insurance, Finance and other industries

and professions. Actuarial scientists can work in the Stock market, insurance houses, Data analysis, Rating agencies, Business analysis, Artificial intelligence, Investment, Banking, Retirement and Benefit Planning.

Ajayi Crowther University, Crawford University, Edwin Clark University ,Kwara State University, Redeemers University, Rhema University ,University of Benin, University of Jos are some of the universities that offer degree programs in Acturial Science in Nigeria.

A degree in computer science, economics, Statistics or any discipline that includes substantial coursework in Mathematics, Statistics, Business, Management, Accounting, Economics, Finance and Computer programming will put you well on your way to become an Actuary...

You can write the professional exam and become a member, the UK body is an Int'l recognized institution in the industry. See here actuaries.org.uk/studying/plan-…
OR
You can obtain a Masters degree in Actuarial Science. You will get some exemption from the professional exam then.

In case the UK exam is costs more for you, you can also write the Nigerian equivalent. See here actuaries.org.ng/studying/plan-…

I don't want to hype this profession so much, but these guys are the real deal, that's the reason you probably don't hear much about them. They're geeks.😉
