Brig-Gen. Nnamdi Okore-Affia has revealed that some Nigerian graduates
taking part in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme can hardly
communicate in the English Language.
Okore-Affia made this known while delivering a speech during the 2013
batch a pre-mobilisation workshop. According to him, "Unfortunately
too, we have corps members who can hardly communicate in English
Language let alone being able to teach in the classrooms. This
worrisome development has resulted in a situationwhereby members of
the public wronglycondemn the NYSC for the poor academic standards
displayed by thesecorps member.''
He said the inability of academic institutions to produce eligible
corps members had become an extraordinary task for NYSC management.
Accordingto reports, many principals of schools and other employers
were ejecting corps members posted to their schools and offices and
stressing that it was difficult to even re-orientate such corps
members.
He added: "Going through the figures presented for mobilisation by
Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) in year 2012, it was discovered
that many exceeded the admission quota approved by regulatory bodies
by as much as 500 per cent in extreme cases."
Question is; don't they offer Use of English in some schools, yet
Uniuyo go fail peepz wella? #justsaying#
