The Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has stated that the federal government is working to ensure an enabling environment for youths to excel in their chosen career, stem the “japa syndrome” and also make Nigerians youths that have since relocated abroad to return to the country.

Olawande made this known while speaking to newsmen in Abuja over the weekend. He stressed that with an enabling environment, all Nigerians, especially youths, would not bother travelling abroad, and those that travelled would want to return.

“President Bola Tiunbu is working to ensure an enabling environment so that people that Japa will come back and live a normal life. Japa syndrome is good only when people invest in something and then come back to the country to develop and create employment.”
