The Rector of Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara, Professor Emmanuel Ufuophu-Biri, has urged better pay and funding to curb lecturer japa
To combat the brain drain affecting Nigeria's education sector, the Rector of Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara, Professor Emmanuel Ufuophu-Biri , has advocated for competitive incentives to retain local lecturers.
He said: “When you leave your village for your state capital, you are looking for greener pastures. When you leave your state for Abuja, you are looking for greener pastures. “If your country offers what is good, it will attract others to you. We have the oil sector here. You have white guys coming because they earn so much from it.
Prof. Mamman argued that, contrary to the notion that the medical profession has suffered the most from the brain drain syndrome, the education sector is the worst hit. According to a 2023 Nigerian Immigration Service report, over 3.6 million Nigerians migrated in two years to other countries in search of better opportunities.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
