That's good to hear but what about young graduate Nigerian with good and professional qualification from overseas and still can't get a job. The government should try and probe more back in the days when they used to offer first class or graduate with higher education all the good benefit of starting a good life and good family, many are willing but few are seen, yet they call a man he his lazy! " Or dey say aye lonshee " let something be done about this employer give young graduate a chance let them explore their knowledge. Or unlike a case we're a graduate studies abroad to read networking and configuration security and when he finally got a job his task is go and clean the virus in the system or reboot the system make sure u copy and paste file well. And he can't really work on his expertise bcis of a vagabond boss that don't want to grow and want to keep others under is feet. Well so much to say about Nigerian employment issue. But as for me my guild is enlisted and am bless by none but elohim may his name be praise. Youth don't give up but find a better way to survive don't do crime look for a better environment that can help ur future never let ur brain to kill your dreams bcos that's your greatest enemy
