VC reveals why this is happening to Nigerian students abroad

Facts have emerged on factors surrounding the success of Nigerian students studying abroad, ROYAL NEWS has gathered.

Although, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, faulted the country’s education curriculum when analysing the major problem that militates against Nigerian students excelling in the country as they do when they school abroad.

He stated this during an interview stressing that the curriculum does not give much rooms for an inter-disciplinary approach to learning, making it difficult to produce students with wholesome knowledge.

He also noted that there is a problem applying knowledge in Nigeria unlike in some countries where knowledge is easily applied to solve human and societal problems.

The Vice-Chancellor said, “Education should address human problems. We need a hybrid of science and humanities to move education forward and make it meaningful to the society in the nation”.

Abdulkareem described a person of integrity as someone who can be trusted by God and man, adding that when there is honesty and fairness, there would be peace.

He maintained that integrity would require a person to be reliable, saying that Nigeria is a blessed country where correct use has not been made of the blessings in the country.
