Media Assistants (Staff L3)
You will be a part of the team of 36 Media Assistants covering the whole country and beyond specifically focused on social media with the objectives of collecting materials necessary for monitoring releases on events and activities that affect the Yoruba Nation (positively or negatively). Your tasks will mostly involve scouting the social media for such relevant/pertinent information.
Each MA will be assigned a primary State of focus as well as other regions outside Nigeria.

A university degree will be the basic requirement. Nevertheless, you will be considered for this position if you have a post-secondary school education with some relevant experience and proven track record of social-media engagement.
You must have a good level of English language especially, comprehension and writing.
Understanding of any foreign language including Arabic, Spanish, French, German etc will be a clear advantage.

What we expect
You will be expected to make a structured report by feeding it directly into our on-line database at least 3 times each week. You will also be expected to file a weekly summary report.
