A project manager expressed deep concerns as he shared a remarkable encounter he had with an unemployed Nigerian graduate who, despite possessing a higher education degree, found himself working as a laborer at a construction site. This incident was brought to public attention on Monday, May 29, 2023, when Amb. Olushola Olaniyan took to Twitter to post images showcasing the unfortunate situation of this highly educated individual working in a menial position.
In his tweet, the project manager not only acknowledged the graduate's exceptional diligence and unwavering determination, but also shed light on the harsh reality that forced him to resort to such a low-paying job for mere survival.
In his heartfelt statement, the project manager shared, "Some time ago, I found myself at a construction site where I had the privilege of meeting a young, hardworking, and incredibly focused man. His commendable work ethic instantly drew me closer to him, and it was only later that I discovered he was one among countless Nigerian graduates who find themselves resorting to menial jobs in order to sustain their livelihood. Unfortunately, many of us can empathize with his plight."
