Description
The paper critically interrogates and assesses the importance of reading and its indispensable
contributions to the educational development of the society. The paper also laments the fallen
standard of education in Nigeria and addresses the decay and the rot that has characterised the
educational system in Nigeria, which is a consequence of the dwindling reading culture
among the Nigerian youths. An analysis of the recent Senior Secondary School Certificate
Examination results conducted by both the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and
the National Examinations Council (NECO) was carried out. Result shows that the
performance of students over the years in these examinations has been very poor as many of
them failed to possess the minimum requirements for admission into higher institutions of
learning. The paper thus made far-reaching recommendations that could enhance reading
culture in Nigeria.
