The NUC boss doesn’t know there are jobless Ph.D holders? We’re amazed!

by Kolapo Olapoju

We may be wrong, but almost every Nigerian is aware that unemployment does not respect degree or qualification.

So you can imagine our shock when the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) expressed surprise at the fact that many Ph.D holders do not have jobs.

Prof Julius Okojie couldn’t seem to wrap his head around the fact that many Ph.D holders visit his office looking for employment.

He however, has a solution- creation of a portal where their data would be uploaded for easy access to any university that may need their services.

At an interactive dinner with newsmen on Thursday, March 5, in Abuja, he said: “It is amazing seeing the number of Ph.D holders that come to my office and say they are looking for jobs. On the other hand, many universities are looking for Ph.D holders to employ; we will create a portal that will serve as a pool from which the universities can engage such people.”
