Mayowa Joshua not only graduated with a first class, but also as the best graduating student of his department despite being a poor student while he was in High School or Secondary School.
Joshua who took to his Linkedin page to narrate his story explained that he had to fight and conquer his poor academic performance after scoring F9 in all the subjects he sat for in the National Examination Council (NECO) examination and having to sit for the West African Examination Council (WAEC) examination three times before securing a credible result.
Scoring F9 in a subject indicates that the candidate scored between 0 and 39% (0 – 39/100) and therefore failed woefully.
Narrating further, he said he had to pass through a Polytechnic before finally securing an admission to study Agricultural Economics in the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
“I then proceeded to The Polytechnic of Ibadan. At the start, my CGPA was quite low but with hard work, consistency, and the help of God, I made a Distinction in Agricultural Technology,” he wrote on Linkedin.
