To #Classof2018 members who didn’t make it this time, know that a misfortune can be a gift that can propel us to success if we learn the lessons it brings and forgive ourselves #Matric2018 #MatricResult2018

Respect to all Matrics!! We also recognize the smart ones who excel behind the “noise” of media and public platforms as doctors, scientists, actuaries making significant contributions/ differences we might not often hear of!! #Matrics #Matric2018 https://t.co/G24L5ffLjz
