Following enormous problems bedevilling Nigeria’s economy which has led to stages of excruciating HardTimes and hunger in the land, team of mathematicians led by Dr. Adejimi Adeniji has developed the JAPA Model, a groundbreaking mathematical tool designed to analyse and address Nigeria’s escalating brain drain problem.
This discovery has shocked many sensitive Nigerians and the mathematical world at large having designed such an app to solve and check challenging problems leading many Nigerians to flee from their country to other developed countries.
Meanwhile, the JAPA Model is expected to serve as a critical tool for policymakers as they seek to develop strategies that will not only curb emigration but also encourage the return of Nigeria’s skilled workforce, a crucial factor for the country’s long-term growth”, Adeniji said.
The term JAPA has become synonymous with the mass exodus of skilled Nigerians seeking better opportunities abroad, a phenomenon that has had a significant impact on the country’s development.
According to Dr. Adeniji, the JAPA Model considers key variables such as the population size of the country, the availability of opportunities, the population of emigrants and the number of returnees, providing an in-depth analysis of migration trends. The model highlights critical insights, including the persistent desire to emigrate economic factors, political climate and research priorities.
The statement read, “The study’s findings, derived from rigorous data analysis and simulation for model validation, strongly suggest that to effectively combat brain drain, African governments, particularly Nigeria must significantly enhance local opportunities for skilled professionals.
Additionally, fostering favorable working conditions and offering competitive compensation are crucial strategies not only for retaining qualified individuals but also for encouraging the return of those who have already emigrated.
This is a promising sign for the country’s future, provided we can maintain these improvements.”
The model, Adeniji continued, underscores the importance of targeted policies to address brain drain, suggesting that improving local conditions could significantly curtail the emigration of skilled professionals.
“Furthermore, the fluctuating availability of opportunities directly correlates with migration trends, indicating the need for stable and sustainable economic growth to retain talent.
This JAPA model discovery was published in the Scientific African Journal in August 2024, as contained in a statement signed by Dr Adeniji on Sunday and made available to 9News Nigeria.
