oh really?? but I don't think she needs the job considering the amount of money she paid just for tuition throughout her stay in ABUAD.

Them try sha

Compared to other acknowledgments offered to academic performances of students in Nigeria,this is tangible

wow

lemme pitch my tent, incase of 'incasity'

This is an excellent job from the very student. I like it but though it is not easy at all but the main fact is that;

#Fact: - The hard way is the only way.
- And Nothing Good comes easy.

Congratulations!!

Good gesture from the Governor..,This shuld at least encourage academic hardwork knowin there is a reward...,Congrats Ogunbusola!

Wow . Good of the man though

..And Unilag is busy promoting most beautiful girl in Unilag with brand new car. Which is = ash.hole

#whatever!!

#team education

Nice one from Fayose

.

Good gesture,bu I think dis kind of gesture would b better appreciated by graduants from public university,not someone who might be flying out of d country in d next few days for her masters or resuming at dat lucrative job she already has without interview through powerful connections.my opinion

Nice one,she deserved it,even more.

Coming out as a best of the best aint a small feat,especially with so many things to distract her. it takes dedication.

Wish her well in life.

Exactly what am saying dear

I doubt if Mr Gov.would do same to graduate of Public institution say for instance-EKSU ?

The way Private institutions in Nigeria dish out first class and 2:1 really makes you wonder how come the reverse is always the case in public Universities. Compare these :

In Afe Babalola University [lets dub it ABU just for example]

The Economics graduate led the pack of 46
other First Class graduates; 158 Second Class
(Upper Division), 115 Second Class (Lower
Division) and 14 Third Class graduates.

Meanwhile in another University, but a public institution , for instance, Ahmadu Bello University (another ABU) , below results would be the best you could ever get:

46 SECOND CLASS (UPPER DIVISION) ;115 Second Class (LOWER DIVISION) , 158 THIRD CLASS and 14 FIRST CLASS.

Same obtainable in almost all the public Universities in the country.
Wonder what the best students in these private schools would have graduated with if they had gone to our public Unis.

46 First class graduates out of 334 graduating students.

Translates to 13% of the class making first class... I laugh, I would have been first class in that school nah.

Who knows whether first class is for sale there or their ratios are faulty or watered down ?

The '1' is also part of the 'million'. Lets learn to appreciate every little thing. We r still d ones who will complain n criticise if he didnt do it

this is true to an extent but lets nt forget that nt all students in private universities are from rich homes; some might be on scholarships while some parents are on loans just to sponsor dier children to avoid strikes of public 'uni'
