The Nigerian Academic Opportunities: The Big Question

Welcome to today's KeeingUpWithOge

Nigeria's Educational qualifications and job opportunities is been plagued and ridicled with ironies,  dilemmas, economic and political somersaults and futilities, to speak but a few.

Today, there are many graduates than there are jobs. Many a Nigerian states can't boast of a number of industries, establishments, research grounds, etc to absorb in their institutions products, but here and there are monotechnics, polytechnics, colleges of education and Universities.

Even more, the governments across the three levels are not making strategic efforts to curtail these obvious lapses while creating jobs, improving her nonfunctional industries and her educational and heath sectors.

Then Why should education be attractive to Nigerian students when her country's educational sector is not keeping up with her policies? Instead contradictions  hypocrisies is the order of the day. If the Nigerian graduate cannot be so sure of where he or she will be placed tomorrow, then what is the chief end of faculties, departments, colleges and course specializations in our institutions of higher learning? And if Nigerian students only attend schools just for the certificates as a result of hopes dashed on the rough edges of institutions' change of students course areas and political failures, then what is the importance and  role of education on both the social, economic and political ramification of the country?

It is now obvious to Nigerian youths most especially the academic inclined ones, that those sayings our leaders and our parents that "education is the key" are just one side of the story. Most news prints and medias always run catchwords such as "education is the key to a very sustainable development of the country's entire sector" in a speech by so so and so. One truth I'll like to establish here is that nobody ever chooses a particular field of learning without first considering its economic consequence. And this "key" speaks of educational fulfilments both to the individuals and the government.
But in contemporary Nigeria, the reverse is the case, as many a Nigeria youths know that where the success "key" now lies is on the 'streets'.............
