I thought I have seen it all in Edo illiterate governor here is another fool in power. If Local government chairmanship is intoxicating this foolish adult this much then if he becomes a governor (God forbid) he will be worse than a despot. Tufiakwa

come to think of it, what kind of work will a Masters or PHD degree holder be looking for at a Local govt office?

some Nigerians just love paper qualifications just to impress and intimidate others

of what use is your PHD if you can't develop or patent an idea that Manufacturers, Educators and Tech gurus will be looking to buy into

some of these PHD holders in Nigeria are paid less than N300,000 a month, while a new graduate trainee in a bank goes home with 500k

why the stress then?

Use your knowledge to solve a major problem or seek employment at the state or federal level.
Because they lack emotional intelligence and also believe that everything must be done as per militant gra gra. That creek activism hangover still dey disturb them.

That's because PH is the capital of the state, home to some of the brightest minds in Nigeria and one of the richest LGAs in Nigeria
Interesting......
What would happen if the PH LG chairman also says what the Etche LG chairman says but the reverse?

It's the responsibility of the PhD holder to advice the Etche LG chairman on what to do that will generate IGR so that they can be paid the kind of salary that they need as PhD holders.

It will be good if you change that mentality and thinking of you, because it's thinking of such that has made Nigeria not to truly develop and we have the North region depending on oil revenue from FAAC.

Those degrees can also be used to solve problems in the local government areas, it is humans that also live there.

I have a Msc and my Professional Doctorate is in view, that is what I am using to work in a local government in Central London.

Wike na strong man o. He was poisoned and suffered kidney and liver failure.
Half of that could have killed many men even younger than him, but he is still alive and standing strong.
U may not like his guts but Wike is blessed and he knows his job.

go to Port Harcourt doesn't mean the LGA but the State Government. to him he has no use for them, hence his coming out clear.

beside why acquire a PhD cert when know you aren't going into academics?

then presenting a paper work to that effect is better welcomed than a table and chair 8 to 4 end of the month system for a PhD certification.

how many Msc and PhD holders are you in that local government? of only Nigerians would do this you've just said.


bixton:
Is there any law in Nigeria or elsewhere that says everyone with PhD should venture into academics or is it just a mindset thing?
no law forbids you from earning PhD or enforcing PhD holders to academics only but with the effort, time and finance that goes down into earning that degree you will agree with me that local government isn't ideal for them.

submit you paper work, run your proposal, get the deal done, make the doe move till you come cash out again. they better respected in the academic sector than any where else.

There are still many positions that M.Sc and Ph.D holders can do at the LG level. It's either Mr. Chairman is ignorant of this or plain mischievous. The fmr Director of Admin and General services in my LG was a Ph.D holder. There are HODs who have higher degree qualifications, which enables them climb the hierarchy faster.

He's 💯 right, MSc and PhD holders should seek for better opportunities and harder task to solve, waec and bsc knowledge is enough to solve the problem in his local govt he meant... bigger the problem, higher the expenses

So after forcing millions of young Nigerians to chase degrees just to stay “qualified,” we now have politicians proudly telling them their education is basically useless?
This country is unbelievable.

If a local government chairman thinks Masters and PhD holders should “go to Port Harcourt and look for work,” then what exactly is the point of all the talk about investing in human capital?

Funny how the same leaders with foreign-trained children suddenly prefer WAEC and B.Sc when it’s time to hire locally.

Maybe the real problem isn’t over-educated Nigerians —
it’s under-qualified politicians who feel threatened by people smarter than them.
Nigeria emphasis too much on paper qualifications other civilised nations are focusing on skills and on what u can do.

He cannot pay masters and PhD holders.
I want to assume this is where he is speaking from!

Nigeria is the way it is because people who should be solving problems at an intellectual level are either codedly begging on Tiktok or selling fairly used underwears on Instagram or applying to be tanker drivers for Dangote!

This is not to blame our youths but it circles back to the lack of jobs for the millions of youths that are pumped into the system with every "stream"!

. B. SC is the basic qualification anyone needs to find a job. All others are called additional qualifications , it's at your own discretion to seek for additional knowledge for personal purposes. It may or may not count as added advantage which typically depends on the employer. That's why jobs abroad always ask for what you can do practically...
A Bsc is adequate for most jobs.. then plus your experience in handling tasks properly.
