Lecturer postponed exam

He said it all happened when he reached out to his lecturer with the excuse that he was not adequately prepared to write an upcoming exam and would be happy if it was postponed.

"Immediately my professor sent me a mail saying he has agreed to allow my write the exam on another date. He says any time I am ready I should come and write the exams", he said with smile.

His delight was also premised on the grounds that in Ghana telling a lecturer to postpone an exam because you are not ready would be very difficult.
