Arnold said:
“Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng). It only took 9 years but we're here. Congratulations Arnold.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, Arnold detailed why he spent 9 years in school for a five-year course.
He said:
"It took me 9 years cause I got admission in 2015 and my records were not found, so I had to redo the year. I started over 2016 and in 2017, I was in 200 level. In 2018, I was in 300 level then strike tmade it spill into 2019.
"Then COVID happened in 2020, halting 400 level. In 2021, I finished 400 level. I had a past year in 300l evel due to health so I knew I'd be having an extra year. Strike came in 2022, which made 500 level spill into 2023. I finished my extra year the same year but my school held my records till July this year. That's the summary of the story."
