In Nigeria, many youths struggle so much financially as adults and graduates. It's no news that jobs in our country are for those with connections, and a few of those who acquired high paying skills. Obtaining jobs were already difficult enough, and now, with the current economy, it's way worse.
What do you think is the biggest challenge youths face in employment and how can it be addressed ?
In my opinion I think the biggest challenge is nepotism, just as you have talked about the jobs are mainly for those with connections. Do you know that sometimes when you see a job posting, it's just for formality because they already know those that they want to employ , they just put the post out to fulfill all righteousness. Most times the jobs are not giving to the most qualified person, rather its giving to those with connections. There is a saying in Nigeria that say "know who know person", this already explains it all.
In conclusion I think the only way forward is if this can be stopped and everyone should be giving equal opportunity, but I really wonder if this can ever be possible I'm our country.
