How Safwan spent 9 years in ABU
Legit.ng asked Safwan what made him graduate with a third class and he opened up about the challenges he faced in school. In his words:
"I faced huge calculation difficulties with some of my physics courses, such as quantum, vibration and waves, and Solid-state physics, which caused me to fail them so many times that I never for once quit rewriting them, motivated by one of my lecturers, Prof AbdelGaffar Amoka, Professor of solid-state physics at ABU Zaria.
"Apart from that, I found myself in a department with poor management regarding results...Coupled with COVID, ASUU and other departmental delays it resulted in 3 years plus the initial 6 making it 9 years all together."
