A new report from the Boston Consulting Group and The Network indicates that two-thirds of Nigerian professionals and three-quarters of Ghanaian professionals are willing to work abroad.

The report, titled “Decoding Global Talent 2024,” surveyed more than 150,000 workers in 188 countries and found that young professionals and those from fast-growing populations were more likely to seek opportunities abroad.

English-speaking countries with strong economies, such as Australia, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, are the main destinations, with London and New York among the most popular cities.

The report indicates that Nigeria ranks 67th and Ghana 72nd in terms of attractiveness to international workers, while Abuja and Lagos rank 63rd and 103rd respectively in terms of desirable cities.

The top ten countries searched for by Ghanaians are Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium.
