Degrees vs Tech Skills—What Really Matters In Today’s Nigeria?
About this episode
For years, a university degree was seen as a major pathway to success in Nigeria, but rising unemployment and the high cost of education are now making many young people question that belief.
While some graduates struggle to find jobs after NYSC, others are turning to tech skills and digital careers for better opportunities and income.
On Nigeria Daily, we examine whether university degrees still matter as much in today’s digital economy and how Nigeria’s education system is adapting to changing realities.
