DONT LET THE OP DECEIVE YOU
All this rubbish meaningless motivational talk encouraging mediocrity. If all graduates start driving tricycles or taxis or start hawking, those business will become crowded and saturated and prices will drop to unsustainable levels and even those who don't have access to education would not have that options.
Let us stop. getting used to and justifying suffering and government failure. How may South African Engineers are driving tricycles. How may South African Software engineers are driving taxis
No economy is built by low level service jobs. Nigeria as a country has crude oil and we don't produce enough millions of petrol for daily consumption and the government cannot galvanize companies to produce and refine enough petroleum from the crude.oil.and in the process employ engineers. We have serious infrastructure deficit of roads, buildings and houses and seaports and electricity and the government cannot galvanize companies to solve these.problems.and.in the process employ engineers.
Engineering, software,. healthcare, infrastructure is the basis of the economy and a middle class who can afford goods.
Nigeria has population but contributes very little revenue to most big corporations because of poor. purchasing power.

We have science and agriculture graduates that should be employed if the government had put the right companies to locally manufacture these items and create jobs.
Those graduates will buy cars, houses , pay fees, open side business etc thereby forming a middle class who build the economy and create wealth
