The presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, says there is nothing wrong with young Nigerians relocating abroad.
Speaking on Channels Television Thursday, Adesina said the trend, called ‘japa’, was not a new phenomenon.
He stated:
“The japa syndrome has always been there. There’s nothing wrong with people going abroad.
“If you think you have better opportunities abroad, by all means, go. It’s not a crime.
“It’s ideal for people to stay back and invest in Nigeria, but we know as the ideal is not always the reality at all times. And you must face it.â€
