Rochas-Okorocha

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has requested universities in the country and other institutions of higher learning to stop making credit passes in English language and Mathematics compulsory for those seeking admission.

He lamented that the practice of making the two subjects compulsory for admissions has aborted the ambition of many brilliant students who could, for one reason or the other, not credit both subjects, to further their education.

The Governor, who spoke yesterday when the Registrar of the National Examination Council, NECO, Prof. Abdulrashid Garba visited him at the Government House Owerri, with his team, noted that the time has come for all relevant bodies to help the education sector and assist students with the ambition of pursuing higher education.

Oh! This is my week indeed. I want to invite y'all to our fourth coming SHILOH event. It promises to be good. Please kindly walk into any LIVING FAITH CHURCH aka Winners Chapel nearest to u from 8-12th of Dec. Come and be blessed. .



Oga seun. Are u going to change when it gets to my own turn? I never see any alert ooo. Abi FTC no dey collect anything again?

why don't we just remove testing all together then?

maybe we should just ask our kids to simply walk into the universities of their choice and start learning on a first come, first serve basis.

What is Okorocha saying nah

But why should a science or engineering student who had grade A and Bs in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Agricultural Science/Geography be denied admission because of a failure or a pass in English Language?

Did he write those subjects in Vernacular?

Na so!!!...Mediocre speaking

Okorocha was high on Mbaise weed when he made that remarks

Ok

I'm not surprise.

One of the changes they said then

End Time Governor

This man na clown

I agree with him, the president of Nigeria didn't pass mathematics too.. Yet he is running one of the largest economy in the world.

why set standards at all? We are already living in a free-for-all country.

This one don craze ..........

I wonder why this man reason like an abokiii

Correct guy


Make English compulsory but not Maths

Mad man

this is absurd

End-time post

There should be a minimum benchmark for certain things....

University Admissions requirements shouldn't be a freeway...

thats right....
How can we be failing our own language only to pass inglis langweji? No wonder Oyibo people always reffer to Africans as ''third world nigz''...
What an inconjorbogous?

Make the just make nigerian language compulsory be that

What is this man saying? I hope is not Buhari that sent you this

He should have just said English. As for Maths it all depends on the student choice of study, A science student must have credit in Maths. Even now they are some courses that a credit in Math is not all that important. English is overrated.

As much as I love maths...I support this,not everyone has a sound knowledge of calculation,Back then I use to have a friend in art department who speaks English as fluently as FFK and writes like Agarawu23,Buygala,Naijaboiy,Vizkiz and William Shakespare(Lol) , Give him simple expansion he'd spend hours at it and still won't get the answer, Imagine one having A1 in Literature, Government, English and all the art subject but denied admission cox he couldn't have a credit in Maths......Quite pathetic right?It sounds as much

Nice 1....how can a student have A or B in physics, maths, chemistry, biology and wants to study engineering but denied admission becos of English.... did he wrote other subjects with suhaili or zulu language....

Mr Governor, you are not Education minister, so keep your skewed opinion to your self. We are talking about a falling standard of education and how to salvage you are introducing another cheap way to bombard our institutions with graduate that won't be able to correctly fill forms in NYSC or Graduate that won't be able to handle aptitude test...later they will say, they can't get jobs.

If others can make the compulsory maths and english no excuse of either am a notherner or southerner

Both are necessary
