Abstract
The study explores the Japa syndrome Nigeria’s term for the mass emigration of its youth seeking better opportunities abroad from 2015 to 2023. Driven by desires for economic stability, improved security, and better educational prospects, the Japa phenomenon has led to a significant outflow of skilled professionals, contributing to a pronounced brain drain. This research aims to assess the socio-economic and political factors driving Japa migration, evaluate its impact on Nigeria's development, and analyze the Nigerian government's response to this trend. The significance of this study lies in its potential to enhance understanding of migration dynamics in Nigeria and inform policy decisions. The research utilizes a historical approach, combining primary data from interviews and focus group discussions with Japa migrants, government officials, and civil society representatives, with secondary data from existing studies, policy documents, and government reports. This methodology ensures a comprehensive analysis of the Japa syndrome. Key findings indicate that the Japa syndrome exacerbates brain drain, impedes economic growth, and disrupts social structures. The Nigerian government’s response, though including efforts to address human trafficking and enhance security, has been largely ineffective in curbing the migration trend. The study concludes that addressing the root causes of migration such as high youth unemployment and inadequate social services is crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of the Japa syndrome. Recommendations include improving welfare programs, supporting small-scale enterprises, and enhancing policy responses to retain skilled professionals and support national development....
