If you are looking to hire remote Developers from Nigeria or you as a developer you are looking to start working remotely there are certain things you should be looking to have. In most countries, these would be basic amenities that anyone can have access to. However, in Nigeria, you would have to be deliberate about having these things in order to work without any issues.

1. Multiple Internet Service Providers(ISP)

you saw that right. in Nigeria, no ISP is 100% reliable. you might be in the middle of a meeting when your no 1 service provider that has been stable all week starts acting up, so having an alternative Isp always comes in handy.

2. Back-Up Power Supply

This is definitely a must for any Remote Developer like the power supply is so inconsistent in Nigeria, I have never heard of any place in Nigeria that receives 24hrs supply at all. Even if you always have power, the power holding company of Nigeria(PHCN) might surprise you, so whether it is a Generator or an Inverter or just a battery always have a backup.

3. Quiet Workspace

As with most remote work, from time to time you would definitely have meetings, you don't want to be having noisy feedback from your end whenever you need to speak on a call.

4. Comfy desk and Chair

Protect your back, having a work desk and an ergonomic chair can prevent unnecessary back pain from working on the bed or sofa. it also helps put you in work mode.
