@EbenezarWikina @ThisIsAfricaTIA @BritishCouncil @ChidiOdinkalu @PressBritish @ieltsng @_iBarelyTweet @Adunni_Achebe @Chxta @TheICIR One, British Council says IELTS proves English lang. skills in most countries where it is the main lang. But then, English is also the main lang. in Nigeria (official language, used for academic instructions), which 2019 EF English Proficiency Index ranks 29th best in the world.
@EbenezarWikina @ThisIsAfricaTIA @BritishCouncil @ChidiOdinkalu @PressBritish @ieltsng @_iBarelyTweet @Adunni_Achebe @Chxta @TheICIR Second, unlike most exams, IELTS results expire after only two years. British Council blames this on a phenomenon called "second language attrition". It doesn't matter if you have a perfect score. After 2 years, you have to make sure your grasp is still splendid. #IELTSinNigeria
