She later thanked her subdean for helping rectify the error and encouraged students to always verify their results

"That’s how one of my lecturers made me cry shege Ehn.
He released our Jurisprudence result and I saw E. Ni 500 level?
I had to call for my script, only for me to discover I had an A. 75A"

She added:

"God bless Mrs Olamide Mohammed, Esq., Our Subdean and class advisor. She outdid herself just to ensure the issue was rectified."
"Thankfully, he agreed to me searching for my scripts to cross check. A lot of students just take their L and move on. That’s why some of them don’t graduate with the first class they worked for."
