Reskilling the Nigerian labour force for effective productivity: Prosilience as the new normal

Abstract

Accelerating trends in remote work, e-commerce and automation mean that more Nigerian employees will need to change jobs and learn new skills. The fundamental question is whether the employees are ready to shift gears and the employers ready to guide the shift? This article aimed to explore how Nigerian employers (both in the public and private sectors) can strategize talent development, and identify the most effective options to ensure a competitive workforce.
