What makes this CV work

  • Portfolio value is quoted in the summary (₦2bn+) - the single most important project-management credibility signal.
  • On-time and on-budget rates quantified (94% on-time, 100% within budget) - the two metrics PMs are hired and fired on.
  • PMP certification in the name line - the global default credential; Nigerian employers filter on it strongly.
  • Specific project names (Victoria Island development, Lekki-Epe expressway, MDXi Lekki) are verifiable and culturally recognised.
  • Cross-functional team size (42 people, broken down by function) shows the scale of coordination.

Tailoring this for your application

  • Lead with portfolio value and on-time / on-budget rates - these two metrics decide most PM hires.
  • Name specific projects, clients and regulators you've worked with - verifiable track record.
  • Include PMP, PRINCE2, Agile Scrum certifications - Nigerian recruiters filter aggressively on these.
  • Mention the specific scheduling tools (MS Project, Primavera P6, Jira) you've used - keyword match for ATS.
  • For construction PMs: include COREN registration and FIDIC contract experience - both are table-stakes for senior roles.
