UI law student denied visa bags first-class
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan law student, Grace Fadugba, had graduated with a first-class degree seven years after her US visa was denied twice.
Celebrating her academic feat on X, an excited Grace said that about seven years ago, she was depressed after her US study visa applications were rejected twice. In a viral X tweet, she said she had applied for the visa after scoring high on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams and securing scholarships to study in the US.
Grace said she decided to focus on acquiring a law degree and remarked that she made excellent use of her visa disappointments, even beyond her university grades.
