If, as a builder, you can’t find the talent you are looking for, then build them. What you are doing is new and innovative. It means it hasn’t been done before. You can’t expect to easily find people who have spent their whole lives being conditioned to learn what society considered more important. You must groom the people you are looking for to fill such positions, or push the government to change the higher education curriculum to integrate those skills. I spent 5 years studying Petroleum Engineering, just like over 60 of my classmates who were among the best of their time. Back then, we all believed we would get jobs in the oil sector, but as I speak to you today, only 2 people are still in the field while the rest are doing something completely different. We must tell ourselves the truth. With the low entry barrier into becoming a programmer or tech engineer because of the cost and no well defined path way, nobody will spend that much money learning those skills and then choose to settle for lower pay in Nigeria when they can earn more working remotely. I know friends who, after failing to secure jobs, borrowed money to learn new tech skills. Do you expect them to settle for less when better opportunities exist elsewhere? Most people you see today in the tech space are people who already had first degrees in unrelated fields but couldn’t find jobs. A time will come when some of these tech skills will become as useless as my Petroleum Engineering degree certificate.
