172 ke? Na ABC dem dey learn ni? I know it's 5 sets o

Congratulations to the students. Determination + Perseverance = Success.

If not Boko Haram and the religious intolerance in that part of the country, most persons(I know quite a number) from the south will be schooling there.

Good one

It's very easy to make 1st class in any university in the North. Anyway, congrats to them.

Another competition in the labor market. No chance for 2nd class lower ooo

172? Hmmmmm. congrats to them

Thank God normalcy has began in borno at least people no go dey fear to go unimaid anylonger.

How many northerners are among the 172 who made first class

Are we saying the distortions occasioned by BH had negligible effect on d academics of the 172 first class graduates over d 5 years period?

Congrats to the Graduands

152 Northerners

172 ke?? Where's d VC, I need to knw ur own definition of 1st Class!

How possible is this, based on the security challenges facing borno state this past few years?

Abi this 172 students thrive best under bokoharamic conditions

172/5=34.4. Not bad since even most federal Universities are churning out same 35-40 first class yearly.

Unimaid is the most difficult school to make First Class in Nigeria. With Boko Haram, Extremely harsh weather condition and strict discipline. Who no go no go know

Even with the menace of Boko harams, they still came out good. Congratulations to them. An achievement as such is worth celebrating.

Book haram counter strategy to attract students. If they like let them have 1000 1st class and zero 3rd class....peeps be wise. All na wash wash!!!!!

172? Hmmmm, good for them. Congrats...but 172?

172/5= 34.4 per year. What was d number in unilag recently? I pity u if u go study in a sch lyk ABU. Nothern universities really dont care about ranking and all those manipulated lists. Trust me if not 4 BH, dis unimaid used to b one of d best in d country.

You guys seem to nurse a misguided notion about Unimaid. As a student, once you get there, you face the unadulterated reality that you are in a war zone where there is zero or no "flexing" , no clubbing, little or drinking. Unlike other schools, in Unimaid, you are forced by the situation to face your studies, pass and get out.

wow. congrats to them. ABU Zaria can never produce such high number of first class even in ten sets.

Please stop misleading the public. I graduated with First Class from Unimaid last year. I am a Christian and I hail from Imo state yet I was the only First Class in my department. It can never be reduced to a Secondary school if the definition of Secondary school is something to hold on to. Unimaid is the leading Federal University in the North-East.

The 172 is for the period of year 2010 to 2015 (5 years).
