Hard to graduate with first class in Nigeria

According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), only about 2% of Nigerian graduates obtain a first-class degree.

This means the twins have not only excelled in their fields of study, but also achieve it from the same university.

UNILORIN is one of Nigeria's most prestigious and competitive universities, with a high standard of academic excellence and a low admission rate.

The twins have demonstrated their exceptional intelligence and diligence, overcoming the challenges and rigors of the Nigerian education system.

They have also inspired many people, especially young girls, to pursue their dreams and aspirations with passion and determination.
