Nigerians are making breakthroughs academically all over the world. No fewer than 50 Nigerians out of the 253 students who graduated in various academic disciplines at the 2015 convocation ceremony of the Linton University College Malaysia made first class honours.

 

According to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund, 35 PTDF scholars were among the 253 Nigerians who graduated at the 2015 convocation ceremony which was held in collaboration with University of East London and Coventry University, United Kingdom.

 

The Fund, in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday said, “Altogether 50 Nigerian graduates distinguished themselves with first class honours degrees, among whom were 13 PTDF scholars who earned first class degrees in Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Business Management and Civil Engineering.”

The Executive Secretary, PTDF, Mr. Femi Ajayi, on his part called on the graduands to take advantage of the opportunities that were opening up in Nigeria under a new administration to deploy their new skills and knowledge.

 

He said, “Rather than being skeptical about the future and apprehensive about job opportunities back home in Nigeria, you should be excited knowing that a new chapter has opened in Nigeria that provides the enabling environment for those who genuinely wish to make it in Nigeria.”

The Acting High Commissioner of Nigeria to Malaysia, Mrs. Janet Odeka, in a statement said the academical success of Nigerians abroad has help in creating a positive image for Nigerians living in other countries. She expressed delight and ask other Nigerians to emulate what the graduands have done so far. She congratulated all the graduands for making it thus far.
