Among them were two first-class honours, 12 second-class upper, nine second-class lower, and two third-class honours.
Originally, Dr. Nduom intended to provide the students with seed money to start small businesses while still studying. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this plan was disrupted.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Dr. Nduom stated, “That did not happen, so today after you receive your degree, each one of you, the eight students, will receive $1000 in cash.”
