If you studied for four or five years in the tertiary institution and you are unemployed. You are in the right mindset to define what unemployment is. Some people do not understand what it means to be unemployed. You have to be in that situation to holistically grasp what it means to live without a job.
The last data published by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) pegs the unemployment rate at 14.2% in the last quarter of 2016, up from 13.9% in the preceding quarter. It’s the ninth consecutive quarter that the unemployment rate in Nigeria has increased.
The rate will continue to increase annually considering an avalanche of factors which seem to be beyond control at the moment. For instance, the population is growing and the number of people enrolling into the higher institutions is on the increase too.
The good news is that with technology this problem could be solved. Many graduates aren’t ignorant of this. They know technology can solve the problem, but yet the situation remains unchanged. Now, it is imperative to know that a few persons understand how these technologies work.
Forget the hype and the claims. A lot of graduates are still ignorant. If you fall into the category of the unemployed or underemployed. And you are hungry to break that yoke, then you need to meet Mr. Joe Oye. The astute tech wizard will have a one on session with the unemployed and underemployed Nigerians (June 20th, Wednesday).
