About eighty percent of Nigerian students cannot read properly, says Mrs Winihim Jemide, Executive Director, On boarding Impact Consultancy via the outcome of a recent research conducted round the country.

Addressing the teachers at the four-day training workshop on quick reading skills in Port Harcourt, she said the whole idea of the workshop was to  re-invent the reading culture among pupils and youths in the country.

She said the Quick Reading training session for the teachers would equip them with the needed tools to fast track reading ability among their students. She added that teachers would in turn go to their various local government and communities to teach other teachers on the Quick reading approach to enhance reading culture.

Educational sector in Naija needs total over haulement and dedication, this sector has suffered a lot and the end result is half-baked graduates from all the institutions.

@poster, you have blown things out of proportion. It is quick reading skills that we have a problem with. However, your post makes it look like most Nigerians cannot read at all.

Reading has to be fomented in the home.
How many Nigerian homes have books or access to a lending library?
How many kids see their parents reading?
