Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, said Nigerians earning modest wages at home are better off than many who emigrated abroad. He made the remark during an interview on The Morayo Podcast Show on Wednesday.
Bwala said many Nigerians with Masters and Ph.D degrees now work menial jobs abroad, including house care and warehouse keeping. He told listeners who feel they are suffering at home that they are ahead of colleagues who left the country five years ago.
“Some of you Nigerians, who think you are suffering, you are better off than your colleagues that travelled out five years ago,” Bwala said. He added that he is a UK resident himself and described the outcome for many graduates who move there as troubling.
