Reactions have trailed reports that some graduates from Nigerian Universities were unable to recite the English Alphabet when put to test.
National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Director-General, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim exposed the graduates on Thursday in Abuja at a press conference.
While noting that some of the graduates cannot recite the English alphabet and do not know what a bank statement is, he said that according to the NYSC Act, such fake graduates are liable to two years in jail.
Reacting, Nigerians have greeted the report with mixed reactions. While some express disappointment on the unqualified graduates, some others are of the opinion that was a reflection of the government’s poor attitude towards educational development.
A particular user even alleged the President would also fail to recite the English Alphabet if put to test.
See some of the reactions below;
Even our own president can’t recite it
