BLTosin Eniolorunda, CEO of Moniepoint, has raised concerns over the quality of talent in Nigeria, revealing that the company has struggled to fill over 500 job vacancies despite limiting recruitment to Nigerians.
According to him, the few candidates identified did not meet the global standards required, as the company competes on an international level.
Eniolorunda attributed the challenge to several factors, including the country’s education system, social media influence, and the growing “yahoo yahoo” and hook-up culture, which he believes are affecting values and critical thinking.
He also expressed concern that environmental factors are shaping intelligence and reasoning levels, adding that the kind of role models many young people are exposed to may be influencing their aspirations.
The fintech executive emphasized that Nigeria has the potential to produce world-class talent but stressed the need to invest in human capital development to compete globally.
