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.

    Adding to Nigerians ' problems, jobs are now also reasonably difficult to find. Unemployment rates are rising, as more people migrate to the cities (Muyale-Manenji). In stark contrast to the traditional ways of African culture, many men are currently without jobs. Because of this, more wives have to work outside of the home, a scenario that decades ago, had never even been deemed a possibility. African women are now a great supplement to their family’s income, with the majority of women holding jobs…

    Various programmes have been developed to tackle the growing rate of youth unemployment but they all seem to be short term and not insightful enough. Most of the solutions have been superficially treating the problems from the top rather than the root. Referring to the careless, but well meaning statement of the previous Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, that over 75% of the Nigerian graduates are unemployable, it is worth asking if it is the fault of the Nigerian youth. They generally show a high willingness to get educated, but are being shortchanged with an education which does not prepare them for the harsh realities of the labour market. A labour market which is capable of absorbing less than 10% of them and leaving the rest to do anything positive or negative with their situations . Various programmes have been developed by the government through the Ministry of Youth Development, scheming the Nigerian Youth Employment Action Plan (NIYEAP). The NIYEAP is aimed at offering a multisectoral approach to the issue of youth unemployment through the establishment of youth development centres in the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. As ambitious as the idea is, it goes to show how disconnected the development and implementation of the Nigerian policy on education and employment is. The…

    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.…

    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.…
