Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, says many Nigerian graduates cannot read or write in a tolerable manner.
Adamu, who spoke in Yola, Adamawa State, during the official commissioning of completed projects in the college, also expressed concern about the decline in the standard of education in the country.
The minister was represented at the event by the Director of Tertiary Education in the Federal Ministry of Education, Hajia Rakiya Gambo Iliyasu.
He said the situation was a cause for concern, adding that students and teachers need to sit up and face their tasks squarely if the situation is to be reversed.
“Some graduates of tertiary institutions across the country cannot read or write applications,” he said.
