The Founder, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe
Babalola, SAN, says the standard of education has declined considerably in
Nigeria, noting that the country was now producing graduates that were more
dangerous than illiterates.
According to him, many so-called graduates cannot defend
their certificates.
Afe Babalola noted that Nigeria was headed for dire straits
if nothing was done to arrest the trend.
The Punch reported that the legal luminary stated this
during a reception for 37-year-old Prof Damilola Sunday Olawuyi, the Deputy
Vice-Chancellor, Academic, Research, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships of
the institution who recently became a SAN.
“Due to poor education, Nigeria is today producing graduates
whose education makes them more dangerous than uneducated people.
“Today, Nigeria produces graduates who cannot write simple
and correct sentences, graduates who do not understand the difference between
transitive and intransitive verbs, graduates who cannot defend their
certificates.
“Whereas our towns will only be better if we have quality
education, our nation will be better if we have quality education and the world
will be better if we have quality education.
Afe Babalola is 91 years old.
