Graduating from university used to bring hope. Today, many Nigerian graduates say it brings uncertainty. After years of study and sacrifice, thousands struggle to secure meaningful employment.
Young Nigerians describe the job market as competitive and sometimes discouraging. Some apply to dozens of positions without receiving responses. Others face unpaid internships or salaries that barely cover transport costs.
One graduate shared that despite earning strong grades, she has been job-hunting for months. “I thought education was the key,” she said. “Now I’m not sure anymore.”
While entrepreneurship is often encouraged, not everyone has the capital or support to start a business. The result is frustration and growing anxiety among youth.
Many believe that unemployment is not just an economic issue, but a social one. It affects confidence, mental health, and long-term planning.
💬 Public reaction: “We studied hard, but the opportunities are not there.”
