Kayode ShopekanNIGERIA stand the risk of losing her best Information Technology minds even as attention are overly focused on the health sector which has witnessed the migration to developed nations of the world of doctors and other health professionals.
This is the assertion of a Tech expert, Demilade Omidiran in Lagos.
Omidiran, a Backend Software Developer who creates apps made this disclosure in an interview with Prime News Africa.
“The industry in Nigeria is experiencing brain drain even more than the health sector, its just that a people don’t know because tech guys don’t migrate like doctors and nurses, Tech Expert, Demilade Omidiran says.
“Tech guys do not have time migrating, they can remain here while working with foreign companies,” Omidiran stated.
“Programmers don’t have to migrate, we can get jobs in other foreign countries and be working over there while we are here and that’s why ours isn’t so significant while the doctors are migrating. Many of the programmers do not have to migrate since they are getting jobs in Europe, Canada and the United States of America.
So the brain drain here is a situation where we have the best minds in the tech industry not willing to work with Nigerian firms due to infrastructure issues and culture problems.
The Software Developer further explained that the industry is not doing because there has been a lack a culture of excellence.
