He also recounted how a cunning lecturer always carried a book that did not have any relevance to the course he was teaching, in order to mislead the students who wanted to take a shortcut and copy his notes.

The man explained how he had avoided falling into this trap and how he had searched for the best sources of information for each course.

Speaking briefly with Legit.ng, the young man said he was not surprised to have finished with first class in any anyway:

“I can't say I was particularly surprised. In fact, not graduating with a first class would've been the surprise for me and most of those that knew my story. Well, because, for context, I started off my 1st semester with a perfect 5.0 GPA and by graduation, I had hit that six times. So, I will say that the class was anticipated. So in that light, talking of intent from the beginning, with a 5.0 GPA in my first semester, it definitely was the intention. To begin the academic game with my best foot forward.”
