I was a project supervisor with Nigeria's foremost private university for several years.

During these years, like all the time (I mean every project period), I meet with confused, overwhelmed, and exasperated students who struggle to finish in peace. I have seen students so overwhelmed by the thought of failure, they weep. I have seen students who were given an extra year for project. I have seen students who got sick terminally and were hospitalized for the fear of the unknown and yes I have met first class students who got a handle of their fear and blazed the trail.

For most schools, your final project carries 12 credits. Some more, others less. But one thing is certain, your grades in project defense will determine your CGPA ultimately.

So I think that your key to a successful final project and defense is this:

1. Start Early
It's advisable that you start in the first semester of your final year. This will give you enough time to choose a topic, gather materials, get started, make mistakes, correct them, and gain control.

2. Have a guide
We all know that most lecturers and project supervisors in Nigerian universities are a joke. Blessed are you if you can find even one to lean on. But for the most time, you won't. Well, this thread is for you.

Share your experience here. Someone may be able to provide you with tips. Don't be silent, it is foolish to be shameful of what is gainful.


Others fail in life, You won't!

Cheers to a great life!
