The University of Alberta, Canada has removed Nigeria’s name from the list of countries that must present proof of English test
This followed a request made in writing by Dr Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi, a Nigerian academic based in Canada
Now, Nigerians seeking admission into the school will not have to border about English language tests.
Dr Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi, a Nigerian academic based in Canada wrote a letter to the Unversity of Alberta requesting that Nigeria be removed from countries that have to present proof of English test before admission.
His request was granted as Nigerian students seeking admission into the school henceforth will not need an English test.
Dr Igbalajobi’s efforts have been hailed.
Full waiver
Although the University of Alberta previously recognised some Nigerian schools whose students do not need an English test, Dr Igbalajobi’s request saw the school granting a full waiver.
