Problem in using table name dynamically in PL/SQL

Question

I tried to create a procedure to use table name dynamically and got the following error. Anything wrong with my procedure?
NFADV>declare
  2   cnt number;
  3   cursor cur is select table_name from user_tables where table_name in ('EMP','DEPT');
  4  begin
  5   for c1 in cur
  6   loop
  7    execute immediate select count(*) into cnt from c1.table_name;
  8      dbms_output.put_line('Count is : '||cnt);
  9   end loop;
10  end;
11  /
declare

Hi,
The wrong part is in execute immediate, it should be as follows:
execute immediate ('select count(*) from '|| c1.table_name)
into cnt
(not tested)
