Nigerian Students Running Abroad In 1980s Were Those Who Failed Mathematics Or English – Retired Customs Comptroller

retired Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs, Kayode Olusemire, has stated that Nigerians who were trooping abroad for education in the 1980s were those who either failed English or Mathematics and could not secure admission into home universities.

Olusemire added that he remembered that during his university days, he had colleagues who were foreign students from America, South Africa, Ghana, and other places in his class.

Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, the retired NCS ACG of Customs was asked if any of his children would join the service, to which he replied, “No, my children don’t have an interest in any of the paramilitary agencies. My daughter is an environmental scientist. Her sibling does not really have an interest in those things. They all want to be on their own and I don’t see the need to teleguide them. The most important thing to me is to give them sound educational foundation and moral upbringing.

“At that time, Nigerian universities were among the best in the world. When I was at the University of Ife, we had foreign students from America, South Africa, Ghana, and other places. Those who were rushing out of the country then, I believe, were mostly people who did not pass English and Mathematics. That is my perception, I may be wrong. In the early 1980s, if you passed your English and Mathematics, you were sure of getting an offer of admission to a university in Nigeria.
