Nigerian graduate burns all his certificates due to inability to secure a job

A young frustrated Nigerian graduate identified as Usman Abubakar from Katsina State has reportedly burnt all his certificates due to the inability to get a job after school.

According to report, he allegedly burnt his certificates which also included his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) University degree, WAEC.

He tore all the certificates into pieces before setting it ablaze because he was angry he could not secure a job many years after his graduation from school.

Will you blame him for his actions? Unemployment is no longer a new thing in Nigeria.

While Nigeria's unemployment rate has climbed to 27.1% (up from 23.1% in Q3 2018, when the unemployment report was last published), the country's underemployment rate — which reflects those working less than 40 hours a week, or in jobs that underutilize a person's skills, time, or education — has increased to 28.6%.
