Some National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members can hardly communicate in English Language, the Director-General of NYSC, Brig-Gen. Nnamdi Okore-Affia, has said.
Okore-Affia made the statement in Ilorin while addressing the 2013 batch A pre-mobilisation workshop.

He said that the level of academic deficiency among corps members had heightened corps rejection and redundancy.

“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 situation whereby members of the public wrongly condemn the NYSC for the poor academic standards displayed by these corps members,’’ Okore- Affia said.

He said the inability of academic institutions to produce eligible corps members had become a herculean task for NYSC management.

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.

DG, blame the parents who abandon their ward's education to only the teachers during nursery and primary school years.Blame the irresponsible secondary school teachers who do not teach well. Blame the lecturers who just don't care whether the students are doing well or not. Blame the poor educational facilities and the great gap between private and public schools. Above all, blame the students who refuse to learn to achieve good grades and speak well. Heck! it's an all round blame.
