President Tinubu Assures Nigerians Not to Worry About ‘Japa Syndrome,’ Pledges to Train More People in the Country

President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians not to be bothered by the mass exodus of skilled workers from the country, saying that the Federal Government, in collaboration with sub-nationals, will train more people to fill the professional gap left by those who have relocated to health, tech and other sectors.

The President gave the assurance in Owerri, the Imo State capital, during the second term inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodimma today, January 15.

Addressing state residents shortly after the governor took the oath of office, President Tinubu said educating children and youths is a priority for the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“You see the priority in industrialisation. Healthcare will receive more allocation and more attention. Don’t worry about what you are hearing about the Japa syndrome, we will train more people and we will supply them self,” he said

The President also assured the people of the South-East that “the peace you are enjoying here will be better and we will work more to achieve that peace”.
