Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Madu highlighted steps students who graduated with a low CPGA can take to improve their chances of securing a fully-funded scholarship abroad.
He said scholarships abroad are not meant for only first-class graduates, hence, there’s no need to write themselves off because they graduated with a low CGPA.
