UI engineering student finishes with first-class
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan student had graduated with a first-class honours degree in electrical and electronics engineering.
The young man pointed out, in a new tweet, that he settled for physics because he did not meet the cut-off mark for the engineering course he wanted. Motivated by this, he said he doubled down and finished at the top of his physics class in his first year, with a 3.67 GPA, and this earned him a transfer to his preferred department.
He further stated that he had a perfect GPA in his final year and had the best undergraduate project. He said his story shows that delay is not denial.
