After studying there are some though challenges you might face, life is full of up’s and down. Life is so unpredictable and things do not always go as planned. People deal with mental health-issues, self-doubt and finding purpose.
Building and maintaining relationship can be tough and conflict arise: poor networking with people around you cause of fear, pride or being envious of your fellow mates you schooled with in the same institution who has achieved their goals.
Managing finances dept (expenses) and providing for oneself and others can be stressful: The increase of price of items each day has made it so challenging for a student who just graduated (undergraduate). Physical and mental health challenges can impact daily life.
Societal norms expectation can be overwhelming: people who know you and were around you from childhood who are having high expectation of you progressing and you see yourself not progressing after studying in the higher institution can be so challenging.
Societal norms pressure can be overwhelming: seeing people of your age (peer group) and people who attended the same higher institution as you achieving their goals. People of your age showing off about their achievement, accomplishments and possession on social media like tik-tok, snapchat, Instagram can get you depressed and make you go into something that is illegal etc.
Many Nigeria graduate struggle to find jobs with some certain suggestion that some youths are unemployed including graduates. Some Nigeria graduate lack digital skill, making it hard to compete in the modern job market such as data analysis, digital marketing, E-commerce, Cyber security and content creation.
Graduates often lack practical skill (hand work) such as fashion designing, bead making, hair styling, hair cutting, baking, crotchet making, shoe making etc… That is why some higher institution in Nigeria like Lagos state university (LASU) has included skill acquisition to their school curriculum activity, which every student in the institution must take part in where by they make their choice on the skill they want to learn.
Some Nigerian graduates lack critical thinking and problem-solving abilities making it challenging to adopt to the work force.
These challenges highlight the use for reforms in Nigeria education system, improved industry academia collaboration and enhanced support for graduates to remove all sort of insecurity, kidnapping and terrorist activities that can disrupt academic calendars and stop a graduate from getting employed.
Financial difficulties, limited scholarships and high tuition fees can hinder access to higher education and post graduate opportunities. The education system often does not align with industry needs, leading to a mis-match between graduate skills and job market demands.
Corruption, bribery, poor leadership, discrimination and poor governance can affect a graduate opportunity and overall quality of education. For instance, when an Igbo person who graduated with a first class upper and goes to seek for a job in a company in the northern part of Nigeria gets rejected while a person from the tribe Hausa who graduated with a third class goes to the same company and get the job instantly even without an interview.
