The mobility of qualified personnel among regions of the country, especially to the north and northeast, from the second half of the twentieth century was driven primarily by a state policy of Federal Universities via creation and expansion of the National Postgraduate (SNPG ) and secondarily on the devolution of productive activities. This migration is influenced by the lower rate of vacancy for teaching in universities in the Southeast region of the country via a vis the output of graduates SNPG these same universities.
