Impact Of Brain Drain and Factors Contributing to Migration of Staff Abroad in The University of Ibadan

This study examines the impact of brain drainage and factors contributing to migration of universities staff abroad. A Well-structured questionnaire was developed to gather information needed from the universities staff in the University of Ibadan. The result shows that migration of university staff abroad is not owned to perceived gender discrimination but is owned to insecurity, naira fall, political and economic instability, unfriendly working condition and insufficient wages. Furthermore, there is evidence of increased willingness to relocate among those that are yet to relocate with no evidence of any educational career development opportunities which has the potential of reducing brain drainage if it is sufficiently available. Thus, the study recommends the provision of educational career development opportunities in government fight against brain drainage
