Vice President Kashim Shettima has advised Nigerian youths not to leave Nigeria in search of better opportunities, saying they can achieve their dreams and spirations within Nigeria.
The country has been experiencing ‘Japa Syndrome,’ where young people and professionals have been migrating en masse to other countries with better opportunities.
A statement released on Wednesday by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Communication, Stanley Nwkocha, disclosed that Shettima gave the charge while addressing the second cohort of the legislative mentorship initiative at the Presidential Villa.
Shettima advised, “Let no one make you feel inferior as a Nigerian. One out of every four black man is a Nigerian. Let no one deceive you that the grass is greener at the other end. Certainly, we can make it green on our home turf.
“Our country is going through some difficulties and challenges, but we are going to surmount it. We are going to cross the Rubicon. We are going to cross the Red Sea and take you to the land of opportunities and blessings,” he added.
