A recent post on X has brought attention to the plight of Terzungwe Liamabee, a first-class graduate of Mathematics from Federal University Wukari, Taraba State. Despite his academic excellence, Liamabee finds himself jobless and is now seeking opportunities with the Nigeria Customs Service, a move that highlights the growing challenges faced by highly qualified graduates in Nigeria.
The post, shared by X user D’naked Elder Zege’Orkwande, details Liamabee’s background, noting that he hails from Ukum Local Government Area in Benue State. The author questions the absence of support from the region’s Senator and House of Representatives members, urging them to step up for their constituent. The post also laments the erosion of a once-common tradition where first-class graduates were automatically employed by universities or companies, often with scholarships to pursue further education.
Liamabee’s academic credentials are impressive, as evidenced by the certificate from Federal University Wukari, which confirms his completion of an approved program of study. Yet, like many graduates, he now faces an uncertain future, prompting calls for better motivation and opportunities for high-achieving students.
The situation has sparked online discussions about the state of employment and education in Nigeria. Users are questioning why the system no longer supports its brightest minds and are calling for action from policymakers to address the issue. As Liamabee’s story gains traction, it serves as a poignant reminder of the need for systemic change to ensure that academic excellence is rewarded with meaningful opportunities.
For now, Liamabee remains hopeful, relying on the support of well-wishers to secure a position with the Nigeria Customs Service. His journey reflects a broader narrative of resilience amid adversity, one that resonates with many young Nigerians striving to turn their education into a sustainable career.
