Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a pharmacy student who had almost given up on having a distinction had graduated with a first-class honours degree from the University of Ibadan.
She narrated how she went from a second-class lower grade to finishing with a first-class degree. She started university with a second-class lower and managed to move to a second-class upper in her second year, but the Covid-19 pandemic altered the course of her academics.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, she said they began taking online classes, and her grades dropped sharply, causing her to almost give up on ever graduating with a distinction. However, she experienced an academic turnaround.
