It should be noted that unemployment is one of the issues facing the country, and Nigerian youths are already thinking out of the box instead of waiting for white collar jobs.
Nigerian youths are now acquiring skills even while in the higher institution so as to have something to fall back on if finding a job proves difficult.

“How am I 33 with two MAs and a PhD and still so precariously situated on the job market? I feel like I went about my 20s all wrong… maybe-just maybe-higher education is overrated?”
According to her, being unemployed transcends disciplines, adding that it is systemic.
She wrote: “As a sociologist, I’d like to encourage everyone weighing in here to zoom out and resist neoliberal individualist discourses. This phenomenon transcends disciplines. It is systemic. It’s no one person’s fault.”
