yesterday at the Trenchard Hall of the university.
Speaking during the

titled “Nigerian English Speakers and Pronunciation: Problems and Solutions” advised tertiary institutions across the
country to encourage their students to
focus more on pronunciation skills in English Language.
He described English Language
as the official language of the nation, whose rules have to be considered
properly in the day-to-day activities of every speaker.
Awonusi also added that
consulting dictionaries and listening to newscast on social media would be a
way of solving Nigerian English speakers’ pronunciation problems.
