“Even Dangote Is Struggling to Find Staff” - Kemi Adeosun Backs Moniepoint CEO
Nigeria’s workforce conversation just took another turn as Kemi Adeosun publicly supports recent comments made by Tosin Eniolorunda, CEO of Moniepoint, regarding the country’s hiring challenges. According to Adeosun, the issue goes beyond one company. She revealed that even Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote is facing similar difficulties when it comes to finding the right talent.
Her statement comes amid backlash over claims that Nigerian companies struggle to find qualified candidates to fill roles. While the initial comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, Adeosun’s intervention has shifted the conversation toward a broader, systemic issue. Supporters of this view argue that Nigeria is experiencing a serious skills gap, especially in specialized and senior-level roles. On the other hand, critics maintain that the problem lies with employers due to low wages, poor working conditions, and unrealistic job requirements as reasons many qualified Nigerians avoid certain roles.
With voices like Kemi Adeosun and Aliko Dangote now part of the conversation it is obvious that Nigeria’s employment challenge is more complex than it seems.
