FG To Check Hiring Of Expatriates In Place Of Nigerians by mukina2: 9:57am On Aug 14, 2012 |
In a bid to free up job spaces taken up by foreigners for Nigerians, the Ministry of Interior on Monday commenced a reformation of the 1963 Nigerian Immigration Act which prohibits an employer from employing foreigners provided there is a suitable Nigerian for the job. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/08/14/fg-to-check-hiring-of-expatriates-in-place-of-nigerians/ |

Why does Nigeria like running before crawling?We are still paying for gaining independence before we were due for it,unlike our South Africa and Ghana counterparts.Bite me but I would say the truth-THERE are SOME OF THESE POSITION that should be left for them alone @ for some time so that we can learn .Afterall they invented it in the first place.Even with their expertise,we still ve hiccups in some certain areas,I wonder what would happen when we completely take over. We should also not forget that their government might retaliate.That means no job for those in diaspora 1 Like |

Re: FG To Check Hiring Of Expatriates In Place Of Nigerians by Seun(m): 3:23pm On Aug 14, 2012 |
Protectionist policies harm the majority for the benefit of a privileged few. For example, the cement import ban made Dangote Cement investors rich, at the expense of increased housing costs for every one else, rich or poor. That's not democratic. Moreso protectionist laws are not sustainable in an increasingly interconnected world. What will the millions of Nigerians who work abroad and send money home do if their host countries retaliate with similar laws? It's as if we want to eat our cake and have it. I don't care whether you're Nigerian or Indian, as long as you do your job well, serving Nigerians well with your skills. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think all what our ministers are good for is just talking and talking. This na another talk again just for talking sake. When have they ever said something and implemented it? Check out all the factories in Ogun state, na Indians full am. There is no future position for Nigerians in these companies as some positions are always reserved for Indians . |

Not only telecoms ooo, was in Nigeria recently for an interview at a firm in Ikeja. The moment I entered the office, I thought I was in Europe. Was eventually interviewed by an American and a dutch guy who couldn't even speak proper English. The only Nigerians I saw on that day were the front desk officer and another lady serving tea/coffee. Very strange....would be very nice if we could give them thr kind of treatment they give to foreigners in their countries. Action is what we need, not words. |

While it is commendable that they are trying to reduce the expatriate quota abuse, i am amazed that a lot of people are saying this will create more jobs. How many if i may ask? How many of you are qualified to take up those jobs. Okay, so they free up a couple hundred expatriate jobs, how has that suddenly helped the millions who still need jobs. It is a good move and should be applauded but please stop blaming the unemployment in the country on expatriates. 2 Likes |

i think this topic is only for those who have had the experience to this matter. well, it is late but never too late for the fg to realsie this very important problem we nigerian are facing with this foreigners. to me the importance of an expertraite is for we nigerian who are previllege to work with them access their wealth of knowledge in order to improve our lives, but reverrse is the case. many of this so called expertraites dont know any thing before granted working visa, they come here, learn here, exploit here, and take our wealth out to their country. they are only taking from us and not giving back to us.. what a shame? that is why they call us fools or black monkey the fg should act very fast on this issue in order to use this avenue to create jobs for our teaming population. mind you, more than five million jobs can be created with the implementation of this policy. i stand to be corrected. look around you; every where you will find them even in our markets they have shops and have forced some of our businessmen to fold up. permit me to stop here |

Talk about cutting down expats in Nigeria is usually limited to the oil sector. I hope that won't be the case this time (assuming the Minister is actually serious). The telecoms and construction sectors should be looked into as well. |
