I’m a Nigerian and I finished from a University in Lagos about 4 years ago, I wouldn’t say I’m jobless because I already have 3 different businesses I own (I’m still exploring others to add to these); one of my businesses employs 3 staff on a permanent bases and 2 on contract bases, I manage others myself except when I have to contract some of the works to some other people. But whenever I call my former course mates whom we finished together, they keep telling me they are still looking for job; I checked out HRM websites operating in Nigeria and they all have a lot of vacancies; confused as to why so many people are still unemployed, I did something: I went to Google search to see the number of people searching for jobs monthly, I was surprised to see about 900,000 monthly searches for jobs and related keywords, whoa!, this made me realize that the number of people looking for jobs vastly outnumbers the number of jobs available in the country because the country is losing too many jobs. Also consider the following facts:
April 2016: 300,000 people applied for Nigerian Navy Recruitment that was announce to only recruit 3,000.
May 2016: 897,170 people applied for Nigerian Police Recruitment that was announced to employ 10,000 personnel.
April 2017: over 1.2 million people applied for Nigerian Immigration Recruitment that was announced to employ only 1,112 personnel.
What could be responsible for this large number of unemployed people, even graduates in Nigeria? I have found that the following 5 reasons are majorly the cause of unemployment in the country:
