Lagos Life Jobs and Pay: All 34 Careers Compared

A job is the steadiest way to earn Game Naira in Lagos Life. You apply in Phone → Jobs, your first shift starts today, tomorrow or on a set day depending on the job, and each shift lasts one hour. Tick Go automatically so you never miss one; tapping Check Hustle opens your job directly.

We read every card in the Jobs app on October 22, 2026. There are now 34 careers: 23 in Lagos, 5 in Port Harcourt and 6 in Abuja. Six Lagos careers and two out-of-town careers are mid-level jobs that stay locked until one of your skills reaches the level shown. The 11 careers we first recorded on October 10 still pay exactly the same.

Of the jobs anyone can take on day one, Refining pays the most: an Operator Trainee at the Lagos Oil Refinery in Apapa earns ₦12,200 per shift, or ₦61,000 for a five-shift week. Airport Staff (₦10,400) and Banking (₦10,100) come next. The best-paid mid-level start is Medicine at ₦18,300 per shift, which needs Fitness level 3.

Days per week matter as much as pay. A six-day job at ₦6,400 earns ₦38,400 a week, more than a four-day job at ₦7,200 (₦28,800). The October 21, 2026 tax change capped tax on income at 7%, so more of each shift now stays in your wallet.
