In
what what will come across as a really disturbing development, a
Nigerian graduate with an enviable First Class degree has taken to
twitter to beg for a job.
Odufuwa Sola
A first class Nigerian graduate has taken to Twitter to openly beg
people to help her get a job, in a rare move that underscores the dire
unemployment situation in the country.
The 22-year-old lady identified as Odufuwa Sola, from Ogun State,
has remained jobless since she graduated in 2015 from Ajayi Crowther
University, Oyo State.
“I’m Odufuwa Sola, I’m a First Class Graduate of Physics with Electronics from Ajayi Crowther University,” she tweeted on Tuesday from her handle @MzKansola. “Kindly help me retweet. I need a Job.”
Ms. Sola did not just make a First Class but was the best
graduating student in the university for that year with a 4.83 G.P.A.
She had the honour of delivering a valedictory speech in the school.
Ms. Sola’s appeal for help has been retweeted more than 3,000 times by other Twitter users.
But that is just the best she has gotten for now as nobody has asked her to come over for a job interview.
According to Premium Times, Ms. Sola, who said she was amazed at
the rate people retweeted her post, revealed that she was inspired to
resort to Twitter for help having seen other people with similar
situation get help through the social media.
It’s common in Nigeria to see First Class graduates offered instant
employment by the university in which they studied or the state they
come from.
Ms. Sola said she has applied for employment at the Ajayi Crowther
University, but that she was yet to get a reply from the school.
She has also submitted applications to several companies and organisations within the country.
“Most jobs I apply for are graduate trainee slots that are science-related,” Ms. Sola said, adding that she was not feeling sad at all that she has not been able to get a job.
“I know the situation of the country, though I didn’t expect it to take so long,” she said. “But I trust God.”
Also, she does not regret studying physics. She said she would do
it again and again if she were to start her university education all
over. “Physics is fun,” she said.
Ms. Sola’s dream is to work someday as a renewable energy analyst, she told Premium Times.
Meanwhile, she has started learning tailoring at Ijebu-ode, Ogun
State, where she resides, while waiting and hoping to be called up for a
job interview soon.
“My family has been supportive, everyone around me is just wishing me the best and praying I get a job soon,” said Ms. Shola who lost her dad in 2015, few months to her graduation ceremony.
“My appeal to Nigerians is to help me get a job of my dream and
passion. I know it’s not easy out there, but with the help of God, I
know something good will happen soonest. Nigerians are good people, it’s
just the situation we find ourselves in as a country,” she said.
When Premium Times contacted the spokesperson of the Ajayi Crowther
University, Alvan Ewuzie, he said that giving first class graduates
instant employment in the university depended on the availability of
space in the department where the student graduated from.
Mr. Ewuzie said he was aware that the vice chancellor of the
university had offered employment recently to two first class graduates
of the school.
The Head of Physics with Electronics department of the school,
Christopher Olowokere, told this newspaper that he was aware of Ms.
Sola’s situation.
“The vice chancellor is interested in hiring first class materials, but for now there is no opening in the school.
“She needs to be patient. She could find a secondary school where she could teach for now,” Mr. Olowokere said.
Nigeria’s unemployment rate has been on a steady increase in the
past few years. It rose to 14.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2016,
according to a recent data released by the National Bureau of
Statistics, NBS.
