Vice President James Wani Igga has raised concerns about the qualifications of public servants in South Sudan. He stated that only 5% of public servants hold graduate degrees, while 50% are deemed unfit for their positions due to inadequate education.
Speaking at the National Economic Forum, Dr. Wani referenced a UNDP report highlighting this issue. He emphasized that weak institutional capacities are a major challenge facing the government, hindering its ability to effectively serve the people.
Dr. Wani also stressed the need for a program to accelerate the development of a skilled workforce and create a more conducive environment for private businesses to thrive.
Additionally, he encouraged youth to acquire skills in key sectors such as transport, communication, and agriculture.
