Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti has said ‘japa syndrome’ can be curtailed if the country’s leaders develop programmes and policies that will create opportunities which usually attracts Nigerians to foreign lands.
Otti stated this at his country home in Umuihim, Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, emphasising that it was the only way to control mass exodus of citizens to other countries for greener pastures
The governor received the executives of Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN). He said that ‘JAPA syndrome’ had become a reality which could not even be legislated against because according to him, it was a case of supply and demand.
He said; “Once your economy and your system don’t look conducive or don’t look attractive or if other economies are looking better than yours, they will go there, no matter what you do.
“So, the only response you have is to create an enabling environment, create jobs for them and encourage them to stay back”.
