Akor Blessing Ekenedilichukwu, a Mathematics graduate from FUTO, wept after seeing her final year result and opened up online. She mentioned the grade she finished with after several years of study.

FUTO Graduate Weeps Over Final Year Result
She wrote in the description of her post: "Reintroducing: AKOR BLESSING EKENEDILICHUKWU, B.Tech in Mathematics, Second Class Upper Honours Division (4.45/5.0). When I saw my final result, it broke me sincerely. I won't even lie at all because I was so heartbroken after hearing my course adviser call my CGPA."
While missing first class made her feel a certain way, she spoke about counting her academic achievements and understanding what she had accomplished. This helped her realize she finished better than others with a strong and high CGPA, despite not meeting first class. She added: "I worked so hard, prayed so much, and dreamed of a first class. I even remember putting it as one of my requests at the last Hallelujah Challenge. For a while, all I could see was what I missed, not what I achieved. I forgot the countless nights I stayed awake, the days I almost gave up, the years I kept trying when things didn't work out."
She continued: "I forgot that just getting here was already a victory. With time, I made peace with it. Just like my dad told me, I didn't graduate with a first-class honours, and neither did I graduate with a second-class upper, but I graduated with a 4.45 CGPA (First Class Lower). I learned that growth is not always loud and success is not always round numbers. Sometimes, success looks like standing up after being tired of falling."
