Prof. Oladiji, who disclosed that graduates of the country’s Universities were doing well outside the country, wondering how they were doing well and also leading their counterparts from other countries of the world if they were not employable.

The VC made this known while speaking on Friday on the forthcoming combined 34th and 35th convocation ceremony of the institution.

According to the VC, “Nigerian graduates are employable. The problem we have is that somebody somewhere just sat down and said something and we all believe such a statement. It is a lie.

“Why are they leading other graduates from other countries when they get outside? Nigerian graduates are doing well and the best everywhere. Our graduates are employable. But the question is where are the jobs? In FUTA, all the graduates here are employable.”
