Vice Chancellor of Elizade University at Ilara-Mokin in Ondo State, Prof. Olukayode Amund, has said Nigerians who abandoned lucrative jobs in the country and went for menial jobs abroad were misguided.
The vice chancellor said there was nothing that made him to remain abroad after completing his studies.
He said there was no reason for Nigerians to run abroad, if all hands were on deck to make things work.

Amund spoke at a pre-convocation media briefing of the sixth and seventh convocation ceremony of the institution.
The vice chancellor said many Nigerians yearning to relocate abroad were not aware that everything, including good weather, are paid for abroad.
“People are not contended with what they have. When they go overseas, they go to do menial jobs. There is nothing abroad that we cannot achieve here. Those going away are running away from challenges,” he said.
