President Bola Tinubu assured Nigerians on Monday that the federal government will train more people to fill the professional gap that is currently obvious in the health, tech, and other sectors, reassuring them not to be concerned about the mass exodus of skilled workers from the nation.
During Governor Hope Uzodimma’s second term in office, the President gave a speech in the Imo State capital of Owerri.
Shortly after the governor took the oath of office, Tinubu addressed the state’s residents and stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is in power at the moment, places a high priority on the education of children and young people.
“You can see that industrialization is a priority. More attention and allocation will be given to healthcare.
We will train more people and provide for them, so don’t worry about what you are hearing about the Japa syndrome.”
The South-Easterners were also given the President’s assurance that “the peace you are experiencing here will be better, and we will work harder to achieve that peace.”
The emigration phenomenon known as “Japa,” which has hit Nigeria hard since the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to an unprecedented lack of skilled labor in many industries, particularly the health sector, which deals with a variety of problems like low pay and welfare packages.
