People express displeasure over the story

@Obabankzz said:

"The impact of bad leadership to us Nigerians are quite enormous. Too much struggles. If Nigerian were to be better, no one will be going through this headache in the first instance."

@okeyezealah said:

"It is quite unfortunate. However, it sounds preposterous that an educated first degree holder, seeking admission into graduate school, will engage an agent for admissions application. For undergraduate studies, it may be understandable."

"What will now happen to the visa?"

@SeyiSpeaks said:

"It's becoming rampant. I think the schools are greedy - biting off more than they can choose .
"Many of them are "hedging" - in the hope that if some people dont show up or pay - they do not lose out.
"But that hedging is causing so many problems for people."

@OkediranTimothy said:

"The application flood is high. Let's reduce the publicity we do online and be wise."

Canada school revokes lady's admission

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Canadian school had revoked a Nigerian lady's admission while she waited for visa approval.

The frustrating experience left her in a difficult situation, with her plans seemingly falling apart.

Undeterred by the setback, she took matters into her own hands and applied to a private college.

To her surprise, she received admission in less than two weeks, providing her with a new opportunity to pursue her education in Canada.
