Tinubu Unveils Plan to Reverse ‘Japa’ Phenomenon

President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the Implementation Committee for the National Youth Conference, with a pledge to reverse the “japa” trend that has seen many Nigerian professionals leave the country in search of better opportunities

Japa Trend, the President emphasized that his administration’s economic reforms are designed to create prosperity, particularly for young Nigerians, who constitute over 60% of the population.

The “japa” trend has become a major concern for Nigeria, with many of its best and brightest minds leaving the country to seek better opportunities abroad. This brain drain has had a significant impact on the country’s economy, with many sectors struggling to find qualified professionals to fill key positions.

President Tinubu has vowed to reverse this trend by creating an environment that encourages Nigerian professionals to stay in the country and contribute to its development. He stated that his administration’s economic reforms are designed to create prosperity and opportunities for young Nigerians, making it unnecessary for them to seek greener pastures abroad.

The National Youth Conference is a key part of President Tinubu’s plan to engage with young Nigerians and harness their energy and creativity to drive national development. The conference will bring together young people from all over the country to discuss key issues affecting them and to develop solutions to these challenges.

The Implementation Committee for the National Youth Conference is tasked with ensuring that the recommendations from the conference are implemented and that they lead to impactful policies. The committee is composed of 44 members, including representatives from the Ministry of Youth Development, the National Youth Council of Nigeria, and other stakeholders.

The committee’s mandate is to ensure that the National Youth Conference is a success and that its recommendations are implemented. The committee will be responsible for organizing the conference, developing the conference agenda, and ensuring that the conference recommendations are implemented.

The inauguration of the Implementation Committee for the National Youth Conference marks an important step in President Tinubu’s plan to engage with young Nigerians and to reverse the “japa” trend. The committee’s work will be crucial in ensuring that the conference is a success and that its recommendations lead to impactful policies.

As the committee begins its work, it is essential that all stakeholders, including young Nigerians, civil society organizations, and the private sector, work together to ensure the success of the National Youth Conference. The conference has the potential to be a game-changer for Nigeria, and its success will depend on the collective efforts of all stakeholders.
