Group proffers solution to falling standard of English in Nigeria
Editor’s note: Research has shown that one of the reasons for the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria is the inability of young graduates to speak good and correct English when they are called for interviews. This ugly trend is becoming more worrisome on a daily basis and drastic efforts must be made to nip it in the bud.
In a statement sent to NAIJ.com, the founder of Erudite Millennium Limited, Saheed Oladele, explains why war against falling standard of English must be fought and won.

He emphasised that any effort geared towards arresting the ugly trend of wrong and inappropriate use of English in Nigeria must be dynamic, adding that Erudite is set to use its new tool, Erudite Messenger Talkbot, to teach English on Facebook.

Oladele also said that the group had recently launched Erudite App to make online learning effective for people regardless of their cadre or status.
He said: “Any effort geared towards arresting the ugly trend of wrong and inappropriate use of English in Nigeria must be dynamic. This is why we are fortifying our training and other activities offline with this important step. Unteaching, teaching and reteaching English through different means is one of the goals of our ongoing 'War Against the Falling Standard of English Project' (WAFSEP).
