Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed serious concerns about the increasing trend of Nigerian youths emigrating for better opportunities, linking it to frustration and unemployment. In an interview, he highlighted the financial losses incurred from this “japa” syndrome and warned of potential unrest if the needs of the youth are ignored.
Additionally, Obasanjo criticized the government’s inconsistent policy implementation, arguing that it should focus on creating a supportive environment for businesses rather than engaging in production. Speaking at the launch of Okun Rice Mills in Abeokuta, he emphasized that maintaining continuous agricultural policies is vital for achieving food security and advancing Nigeria’s development.
