Tell me the most Useless course Student study Hausa Sociologist LIS Procurement Zoology GST Business law Library Again

Transcript

Tell me the most Useless course Student study. I think Hausa. Is there any reason I would just come to school and study Hausa and go? What am I studying in life? What is the use? Useless course that students study is Sociology. Library and Information Technology, LIS. Something is for Procurement. Procurement? Yeah. The most useless course students study is Zoology. To me, I don't think there is any useless course, but there is this particular course people refer to as GST, that is General Studies. Business Law. Business Law? Yes sir. Why? Because there is many, many procedures and principles on that business law you can. In my opinion, I would just say there is no useless course because every course in a university has its impact. Library and Information Science.
