Therefore making many graduates not qualified enough to be employed in any industries or firms, and also he quote that  “Law students attend Law School for one year before going for NYSC and medical students go for one year Houseman ship before they are allowed to practice fully, so it will be necessary for other courses to also go through this process,”
