Nigerian graduates can be the best If...

Poor infrastructure may be responsible for poor quality graduates’

Prof Ndubuisi Nwokoma,the head,  Department of Economics, University of Lagos, , has challenged the Federal Government to invest heavily in universities infrastructure so as to improve quality in Nigerian institutions as well as improve the quality of Nigerian graduates.
He spoke on the sidelines of the 2015 Distinguished Lecture Series of the Department, held recently at the institution with the theme, “Youth Unemployment and Job Creation in Nigeria: Challenges and Policy Options.”

Accord to the university Don , “a lecture hall meant for 500 students today is being used for over 2,000 students because we have to admit more students due to the teeming population. All these affect quality as we are over-stretching our facilities.”
He assert that with adequate infrastructure in place, Nigeria has what it takes to be the best among the comity of nations. “Nigerians are very intelligent.”he said. Those that are fortunate to have good learning environments are on top of their games today. Others are striving in the midst of scarcity to come out strong.
He concluded by stating that the best graduate today is better than the best of yesteryears due to advent of technology and the worst today is worse than the worst of yesteryears. So government’s role is key in creating an environment that would enable Nigerian youths to hone their skills appropriately,”
