Nigerian graduates are increasingly making an involuntary career transition as a result of the country’s persistent unemployment problem.

One of the stories details the plight of a young Nigerian woman who switched careers from medicine to shoemaking.

The medical doctor turned shoemaker studied medicine in school but opted to pursue another career path due to the challenges of unemployment.
