As employers look beyond grades,36 Nigerian universities produced 2,288 graduates with first-class honors degrees in 2019, Neptune Prime reports. First-class is the highest honors degree one can achieve on completion of studies in a university or a specialized institution.
A tally put together by our reporters showed that first class graduates were selected from a total of 127,023 students that completed their studies in the selected schools within the time under review.
Private Universities were far ahead in this relatively newfound penchant for granting first-class degrees to graduating students that read different courses.
