Man calls out Abuja university after 300L architecture interns sent to him didn’t know how to draw

A Nigerian man has vowed to write a letter to a private Abuja-based university after receiving 300-level architecture interns who, according to him, couldn’t even draw lines.

He expressed frustration on X, saying the students lacked basic skills and were unable to contribute meaningfully during their internship.

His words: “Tomorrow, I’ll write to the HOD of Architecture in one of Abuja’s private universities that offers the course. You cannot keep sending kids to us for internship at 300L and they can’t even draw a line. Fix up your syllabus-we are tired of babysitting.”

@boboskyelnino said: “Was still teaching one how to read a measuring tape yesterday…. it’s so annoying.his graphics were also so bad,i just got tired and had to tell my mum how poor her son is.”

@vangeorgh “I know our educational system isn’t the best, but for a 300L student not to be able to draw a single line well (I’m taking your word literally) seems like a person problem of the student. Maybe they’re not even interested in the profession to start with.”

@VictorOdys said: “Sometimes you can’t really put the blame entirely on the school alone. I attend a school with really good lecturers and I figured most students don’t even want to learn they just want to pass.”
