For those
whose vocation is writing-intensive, such as journalists, academics,
secretaries, etc the command of a superb language mechanics is a great
determinant of their success at the workplace as well as the prestige ascribed
to them by their publics. People like Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, J.P. Clark,
Ayo Banjo, Reuben Abati, Dare Babarinsa, are few among the contemporary people
who have attained international prominence through their writing skills.
Students in
academic institutions, especially those in the humanities, also need a good
command of language to enhance their grades. Therefore, it behoves anyone whose
line has anything to do with writing to hone his writing skill by reading and
writing regularly.
