In Nigeria college graduates under 30 have a one year commitment program where they have to work outside of their home states. “Without the program, many areas would lack teachers, engineers, doctors, pharmacists and accountants” (Lee-St. John). If we look at how other countries are doing things that work, we could build on that to try for
