The article, “First Class honours: Kini big deal?” by Abimbola Adelakun published on the back page of The PUNCH of Thursday, March 10, 2016 refers. The standard and quality of academic programme in universities the world over are NOT determined or measured by the number of first class graduates a university churns out but by the quantity and quality of research it conducts. The quality of research executed by a university is in turn measured by the number of journal articles published by its staff in core journals. There are standard yardsticks (bibliometric, webometric, etc) for determining what a core journal is. The craze to spew out large numbers of first class graduands by Nigerian private universities is a ploy to fool the undiscerning public as to what constitutes a quality university and a marketing gimmick to attract large numbers of applicants. http://www.punchng.com/proliferation-of-first-class-degrees-in-private-varsities/ 27 Likes 4 Shares

I don't take most of this Private tertiary institutions serious with their grades. Imagine a Davido that spent mor time dancing Skelewu than receiving lectures in school socring 2:1 @ babCOCK. The public schools also have beast as lecturers who have swore to frustrate students because thry believed that nobody can get an A in their course. NUC needs to do more in terms of regulations.

I believe private uni should have churn out more first class students given that they have the needed facilities to achieve that feat. Is it the public universities that have poor academic faculties that enhance your chances of having good grades?? Generally, I don't think there should be any discrimination. A student that is unserious and is either in a public or private uni, won't have good grades. But private universities just makes it a little bit easier for you ![]() 31 Likes 3 Shares |

how about I know a true confirmed story of FUTA deliberately frustrating their final year students (by all means possible) who have the potential to graduate with a first class all because FUTA believes there is a limited number of first class students they should graduate every year .... imagine that! a private university can't do that. 22 Likes 1 Share |

I agree that first class is a show of la cram la pour these days. If judging by problems solved as academic geniuses we are not worth giving out a first class degree! 7 Likes |

"Geniuses are borne not made. Ayodele Daniel Dada (the student who broke record in the University of Lagos by scoring 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average CGPA) did not wake up one morning to score those straight As. We are told that his UTME score was so high that his result was withheld. Consequently, he had to go through diploma course. Which of these so-called First Class students from our private universities scored equivalent of straight As in their secondary school exams, and which of them scored anything close to 280 in their UTME? I doubt the honest ability of our private universities to transmogrify ordinary students with ordinary SSCE and banal UTME results into overnight intellectual superstars." ^^^^^^^^^, I think I agree with the writer here somewhat! !!! 5 Likes 2 Shares |
