Man rejects admission over unwanted course
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian man rejected a provisional admission offer from a tertiary institution, even after staying at home for several years following secondary school.
He explained that the course offered to him was not what he had dreamed of studying and that he could not commit to spending four to five years pursuing something he had no interest in. He shared that over the years he had prayed, fasted, and hoped for admission into his preferred course.
