The quality of graduates in most of our state and federal universities are unemployable -Educare CEO ALEX ONYIA says they are ‘‘illiterate graduates"

Monday, November 25, 2024 -Educare CEO, Alex Onyia has questioned the quality of graduates leaving Nigerian universities. 

He narrated an incident at a party for graduates of Mechanical Engineering. 

He explained that during the party, the generator developed a fault and none of the graduates could fix it. They had to employ an artisan to do the job. 

He wrote on X: "The Mechanical Engineering final year students of IMO State University were hosting a graduation party. At some point the generator developed fault. 

"None of the students had a clue on how to fix it. They all had to start searching for an artisan to fix it. They eventually found someone that came and fixed it. 

"The quality of the graduates in most of our state universities and in some federal universities are unemployable. 

"I call many of them, illiterate graduates." 

However, his followers defended the graduates, stating that repairing generators is not the work of mechanical engineers, rather it's the duty of technicians.
