Nigeria Ranked Fifth-Best English-Speaking Country in Africa, 29th Globally – EF Index Reports High Proficiency Score
Nigeria has been ranked 29th globally and fifth in Africa for English proficiency, according to the English Proficiency Index (EF Index). The ranking is based on tests conducted on 2.2 million adults across 123 countries and regions.
On the African continent, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Zambia ranked ahead of Nigeria. Globally, countries like the Philippines, Argentina, Serbia, Malaysia, and Finland outperformed Nigeria.
The report comes after previous controversies, including a 2022 petition on Change.org urging foreign institutions to stop demanding IELTS tests from Nigerians, arguing that English is the primary language of instruction in the country. Nigerians often face such tests when applying to study abroad, despite exemptions granted to other Anglophone countries.
The EF Index ranking underscores Nigeria’s strong English language skills while highlighting ongoing discussions about international recognition and language testing standards.
