Hope for 3rd class gradates.. Not too bad

This is a wonderful development.

I hope other countries can also learn from Australia and give rooms for 3rd class students.



3rd class students are not dullards, as it might appear to some.







Meanwhile, sooner or later, Nigeria will become a good place for all and Nigeria will be offering scholarship schemes for other countries, especially our black brothers who are sojourning.

Just a word of encouragement- My uncle had a 3rd class in accounting from ABU. Today he has a company involved in full time civil engineering & dredging, built by him from the scratch. Has Crawler cranes & other equipment. Very successful in that field. Has kids attending uni in The UK. Grade is only on paper.

Cheers!
