Defending Nigerian Graduates: The Problem Is the System, Not the Talent - Tekedia

A commentator argued that Nigerian graduates are not short on talent, but are held back by weak education and hiring systems.

The lack of mentorship, exposure, and fast-track opportunities after school leaves many graduates underdeveloped.

The piece reframes the issue as a systems failure rather than a problem with graduate ability.

It highlights how access, institutional support, and youth investment shape workforce outcomes in Nigeria.
