Young lady breaks 19-year-old LAUTECH record
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a young lady had broken a 19-year-old LAUTECH record after bagging a first-class.
Taking to her LinkedIn page, the lady said that she never wanted to study biochemistry. Her initial plan was to read medicine and hoped to one day be addressed as a doctor.
The lady stated that no one had ever graduated from the department with a first class degree. When her 100 and 200 level results came out, she was motivated to strive harder.
In her 300 level, her CGPA dropped to 4.449/550. While in her year four, the grade shot up to 4.51/5.0 and the hope of getting a first-class was restored.
