In a bid to address the growing trend of skilled Nigerian workers emigrating abroad, President Bola Tinubu assured the nation that the government, in collaboration with sub-national entities, is committed to training more professionals.
Speaking in Owerri during Governor Hope Uzodimma's second-term inauguration, Tinubu emphasized the APC's focus on education and industrialization. Addressing concerns over the 'Japa' phenomenon, a term referring to the mass emigration of skilled workers, Tinubu pledged to supply the country with a skilled workforce.
The move comes as Nigeria grapples with shortages in crucial sectors like healthcare due to challenges such as low pay and inadequate welfare. Tinubu's reassurances aim to mitigate the impact of the 'Japa' trend on the country's workforce and economy, particularly in the face of a soaring unemployment rate at 33.3 percent
