UNICAL student graduates after 6 years

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Calabar (UNICAL) student had graduated six years after she gained admission to study mass communication.

In a video posted by @tashas_beauty, the student is dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt that is dotted with ink from people congratulating her.

She said she spent more years than expected until UNICAL due to delays caused by COVID-19 and strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This made her spend six years in UNICAL despite studying mass communication, which is a four-year course.
