Why Nigerian Graduates Are Unemployable by EduRegard: 10:11am On Jul 10, 2015 |
The lack of employment options and opportunities for Nigerian graduates is one that cannot be ignored because to do so would be foolhardy. But when severely probed, all we get as a reply is that the so-called Nigerian graduates are unemployable.SOURCE Practise Job Aptitude Tests 38 Likes 15 Shares |

This points are absolutely true. No doubt. But while we ascribe the avoidable but pitiable unemployment rate in our nation to these excuses, It is my informed submission that all graduates are employable but the conundrum is identifying where such graduates are needed to fully maximize their latent potential. And based on this premise, it is a problem of lack of sufficient employment opportunities. Even in the best universities in the world, we still have dunce there and some of their graduates are also incompetent but that is not to totally exonerate some of our schools from the blame. Our curriculum needs to be reviewed because sometimes they load our brains with courses that are not related or useful to our course of study. The university/college only guides an individual to achieve a well defined controlled behaviour called discipline but how far you develop yourself is entirely your own volition depending on how voracious you are for more information and knowledge. Thanks to the Internet. Our government should create jobs for everyone because I insist that all graduates are employable in some areas across all the sectors of the economy including agriculture. Government should stop hiding under the cloak of unemployability to justify the lack of job creation. Most importantly, while everyone can't be entrepreneurs, our graduates should consider self employment. Have you ever wondered why there is no employee in the list of the world's richest persons? 70 Likes 5 Shares |

Start at Primary1-6: Teach dignity of labour. At JSS1-3: Teach basic hand-work and business skills. At SSS1-3: Each student must have a trade along with formal education At SSS3 graduation: Student can decide to pursue his/her trade or take further apprenticeship in same or another trade At University: Flexible opportunity to practice trade (with compensation commensurate to productivity) can be in form of a trade center that produces real products for National/International consumption At Graduation: Graduate already has 4-7 years experience (depending on course of study), some cash (where possible) and dignity!!

Most people blame the education sector but the reality is, the contribution of the sector to graduate unemployment is just down the ladder as you have rightly put it 1 Like |

I disagree somewhat, employers tend to hire based on favoritism and hardly on merit in Nigeria. They are quick to hire taller, prettier, bustier women over one who's just average looking. You can't tell me every Nigerian graduate isn't employable common, are the employers multinationals like IBM, Google, or Cocacola? 4 Likes |

I am not bothered with employment because i have created something for myself and others. I don't look at people i work with as working for me but working with me and for themselves to take this country to greater heights. So while i have nothing against seeking employment, it's time Nigeria youths stop looking for the easy way out- Get a job with that one skill you know, remain there for years, retire, get pension and die. God forbid that all you had was coming to this world, living and dying and leaving no legacy, no chains of businesses for your children, no acts of philanthropy to remember you for and worse no one learned how to be great or wealthy from you. You just came and left like the plants in the field and the animals in the zoo. ..

ok we were made to believe that once u get good grades in school that a job would be waiting for u....in so doing the innate entrepreneurial traits is then allowed to die. this i believe is the reason for the quagmire we are in now ..so hence this over dependence on jobs... i believe there should be change in school curriculum to include business management which should be to incorporated as part of the courses which is mandatory no matter what course one is reading in school so that when students graduate, they could stand on their own 2 Likes |
