First-class graduate got US attention

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a brilliant Nigerian man, Olowookere Victor Oluwaferanmi, who was praised on Wednesday, January 19, for his academic achievement got a big offer.

In an earlier report, the young man revealed how he made eight A's in his WAEC before going ahead to bag first class in engineering at the university level with a CGPA of 4.86/5.00.

While people were in his comment section praising him, an American government organisation called EducationUSA Abuja reached out to him.
