Due to ever rising unemployment in Nigeria, out of the applications submitted by job seekers at the on going Dangote recruitment, 6 Ph.D holders, 704 Masters degree holders, and 8,460 Bachelors degree holders were among those who have applied for the post of Truck Driver. The group Chairman, Aliko Dangote has reported that they only needed 100 graduate truck drivers who according to their plan will own the truck after successfully completing a total of 300,000 kilometers which is like moving from Lagos to Kano state. He also said that while it takes serious minded truck drivers to cover the kilometers within two years, lazy ones may take up to four years to own the truck.He pointed out that all those applicants have a verifiable certificates and are even over qualified.
Nigeria is a country where the National Bureau of Statistics have always indicated that the country is growing in all their publications but have never considered dwindling job opportunity in a country that live in lack in the midst of plenty. Nigeria is endowed with so many natural resources like : Iron ore, Tin ore, Gold, Bauxite, Timber, Coal, farm produce like ground nut, Crude Oil among others but all these are worthless if unless they are judiciously exploited for commercial purposes. In Nigeria, the Rich (especially the political class) is getting richer while the poorer is getting poorer.
