A Nigerian man is not happy that so many years after graduating as the best student in his department and faculty, his university is yet to fulfil all the promises made to him during the convocation.
The man took to Twitter to share a long list of awards given to him during the ceremony but said he was yet to receive the monetary values attached. The man also queried the small amounts of money attached to the prizes and said they were "ridiculous."

From the list sighted by Legit.ng there were a total of 5 awards attached to the name "Destiny Osayi Ogbegbe". A simple calculation of the monetary values shows that he was supposed to have taken home a total of N196,000. However, he said he has not received a dime. See his tweet below:
"Just got a list of the prize monies I won as best graduating law student from the university in 2018. Till today, these people have not given me this money. Let’s not even talk about how ridiculous the prize monies are. Lmao."

Nigerian minster awards scholarship to UNIBEN student
In another news, Legit.ng previously reported how a Nigerian minister awarded scholarships to students at the University of Benin, Edo state.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, said he would sponsor Jenifer Efemoghe through his DAD foundation.
Efemoghe was first brought to the limelight by a LegitTV interview where she revealed that she goes to construction sites to earn 2k for her upkeep. She said she did the job to help finance her education.
She however got lucky after the interview was aired as she got picked for sponsorship by the minister.
