The Solution to Unemployment
Unemployment in Nigeria is one of the critical and major problem the country faces in its present years. This has actually contributed to numbers of societal malaises among Nigerians and can be traced to the malfeasances of all the governments that have been ruling Nigeria since independence. BY Perhaps, this is also due to the inferiority complex nature of a black man to the superiority of others. This problem has gone far worse than minds could in imagine putting lots of people under condition of abstract poverty, rendering some homeless and also taken opportunities and chances away. A country whereas 50% of its working population is unemployed, that is so outrageous. It is shocking to know that a country blessed resources, both human and material has to go through this menace.
Looking at this situation at hand a line has to be drawn. The solution to unemployment in Nigeria is education. Singapore has the best student in the world why [1]? They employ the best college graduate, to be teachers in the primary schools. In order to reduce unemployment of graduates the Nigerian government should employ these graduates as school teachers and pay them heavily. Taking a close look at some of the public schools in Nigeria, you discover that it is filled up with pathetic and unqualified teachers. Majority of them can’t even speak good English and for some reason they partake in educating our kids at school. The government should take off these teachers and replace them with the best university graduates.
We notice that Nigerian citizens can be categorized into two groups, the educated and the uneducated citizens. We cannot leave the uneducated people aside. The solution for them is talent, if the government can’t make available jobs for these groups of people they should help develop their talent which can serve as a means of employment. Programs should be organized in every community to build the talent; these can also create more job opportunities for others.

    Unemployment in Nigeria has assumed a crisis dimension. Conflicting and arguably controversial views existed on its official statistics. The economy has been growing in recent years, unemployment too is marginally on the rise, and this is a paradox. Using a time series data from 1996 to 2010 and an econometric analysis, this study analyses the issues surrounding this paradox, examines the trends of unemployment growth and addresses the various challenges posed by this subject to the economy. The results shows that variables such as quality of education (technical, vocational and entrepreneurial), decaying and failing economic infrastructure, increasing population and capacity utilization bear positive and significant relationship with unemployment rate in the country. Empirical evidence further shows a growing trend in unemployment rate that is not likely to abate and that growth in the economy is related to the performance in the oil sector which only account for a fractional percentage of employment in the country. On these bases, recommendations were made that a constructive policy reform in the education sector is urgently needed to stem the current tide of “paper qualification education” for quality vocational, technical and entrepreneurial education. Adequate and sustainable policy measures must be…

    There is a growing awareness in the UK and Europe emphasizing the importance of higher education in order to develop a knowledge‐based economy. Universities across the globe are increasingly required to produce highly skilled graduates who are able to respond to the ever changing and complex needs of the contemporary workplace. However, employees’ education and skills that are acquired in Nigeria have become simply inadequate to meet the demands of modern day jobs. This raises the following question, to what extent or degree does studying in Germany contribute to the employability of Nigerian students once back in Nigeria? The issue of graduate unemployment in Nigeria has become a national concern as the unemployed youths have become increasingly anxious, depressed and unhappy with their current unemployed dilemma.

    In Nigeria, the demand for popular education is so high because education is not only an investment in human capital, but also pre-requisite as well as correlated for economic development (Adeyemo 2000). The belief that education is an engine of growth rests on the quantity and quality of education in any country. In fact, the National Policy on Education (1981:6) states that education is the greatest investment that the nation can make for the quick development of its economic, political, sociological and human resources. It further adds that education shall continue to be highly rated in the national development plans because education is the most important instrument of change and that any fundamental change in the intellectual and social outlook of any society has to be preceded by educational revolution.…

    Besides infrastructure, corruption is also a major concern. Nigeria has been ranked in the bottom 20 most corrupt countries in the world9 and despite the prosecution of several high-profile government officials, corruption remains high and it undermines the credibility of the business sector. In terms of human capital, the country has a labor force of 48 million10. The labor is largely unskilled but a core of highly skilled workers exists. The trade union movement (Nigeria Labour Congress), once a powerful force, has been weakened by rising unemployment and poor leadership. In 2005 the government introduced legislation to end the NLC’s monopoly.…

    Professionalism in banking is violated when ethical or legal fundamentals are breached or blatantly disregarded. Ethics is a strong code of morality, which for an occupation such as banking, plays an important role in the well being of individuals, businesses, national and international economies. Unethical conduct manifests itself in various ways, including insider abuse, fraudulent dealings; irregularity/inaccuracy in rendition of reports, these are problems bordering on business ethics as evident in the Nigerian banking crisis. A multiple regression analysis was used and from the summary of the finding, we can infer that the consequences of insider dealing and problem of business ethics can be disastrous and could result in loss of confidence and trust in the industry, loss of business for the institutions, shareholders, board/management disputes, operational losses, distress of the sector, and liquidation of institutions, capital flight, and stagnation of the economy.…
