Ever since I entered the university and now in my 400L currently doing my 6 months I.T in preparation for my final year (500L) I haven't gone through my qualifications intently until this morning.

Here is a problem I discovered, I made my way to the university with a 2 sittings 2014 O'level certificates in WAEC and NECO because I made a D7 in English in WAEC which is a compulsory credit subject required for admission I had to use my NECO result where I made C5 in English to back it up for a 2 sittings result though I recall they ended up using only my NECO for the O'level certificate screening that time.

Now I am concerned if this might be a problem when I graduate and decide applying for a top job. My CGPA currently is quite impressive but right now I am afraid my O'level might not be good enough due to the D7 I made in English in WAEC.

Please I need good words of advice from the experienced ones amongst us here.
Thank you
It actually matters for very competitive positions. Why not try do another WAEC again. In some organisations, it says a lot on why you ended up in your current university and forms a basis to reject you. Top Universities don't take such results . In fact, they will never take such results.
A school like UNILAG takes only one sitting with 6 credit passes and Further Maths is compulsory for Engineering, Maths & Computer Science .

Employers know these things so know when they hire a 2.1 Or First Class from UNILAG, they know such person must have a track record right from high school.visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria.

Thank you sir. By being mainly after my first degree I guess the O'level isn't as important as I am making it a thing to worry about right?

yes you are very correct. Your O'level is not that imnportant anymore during job search, after graduating from university.

What most employers are interseted in is what you graduate with. So you dont need to exercise unnecessary worries about your O'level

have you not heard a president use NEPA bill as result.
On a serious note, start investing into the digital world before you graduate, so you can even become an employer instead of carrying CVs looking for a job after graduating. Goodluck

Please enlighten me more

It really does not matter. The time you left high school remains unchanged.

No one really gives a shit about your O’level results unless you mention it.
Pro tip: your secondary school history and result is not required in your CV, don't include it.
However, make sure your verbal and written communication skills are top-notch, that's more important than even your CGPA.

Very sorry bruh.. Was just catching cruise.. By that POS statement, I actually meant its useless for him to try and do any correction because he's not even sure he'll get a job yet and these days employers don't even look at your class of degree talkless of looking at your O'levels. Sorry once again bruh

What he is supposed to be asking is,

" How can I start up a business from scratch"

Honestly if I knew my degree and my professional certifications won't be what I'll br feeding on, I would have just gave up on school after Secondary school.

Most employers only look at your first degree and NYSC discharge certificate. But some ask for olevel especially when they need to verify age. In fact, I've experienced those that insist on primary school cert.

Having two sittings is okay but for the sake of unforeseen circumstances, you can go ahead and register for WAEC private January or December exam and have your result in one sitting.

So will his result be backdated?. I dont think the cert for NECO Carries age.
