Event details

Nigeria produces some of the world’s most resilient, innovative, and globally competitive talent. Yet, the country continues to grapple with a deepening retention crisis as skilled professionals migrate in search of recognition and better opportunities abroad.

 

In this webinar, Uchechukwu Ajuzieogu will share insights from his 18-month research journey that challenge long-held assumptions about Nigeria’s “skills gap.” Drawing on data and case studies from Nigeria, Rwanda, Germany, Singapore, and Brazil, he will reveal the biases that shape how global talent is valued and explore why Nigeria must rethink how it rewards, retains, and recognizes its own talent.

I would definitely hire other Nexford graduates. I've been really impressed with Onyinye's progress so far and anyone with that experience level is really a good fit for us at Microsoft.
