78 graduates of the University of Port Harcourt in Rivers State, have
recorded a great milestone as they will be conferred with First Class degrees
at this year’s convocation of the institution
.
Speaking at a media parley ahead of the convocation scheduled for Saturday next week, Vice Chancellor of
the university, Professor Ndowa Lale, made the revelation.
He said it's the first time the university will produce first class
graduates in these numbers and that the overall best graduating student of the
university, Mr Uzoma Chinomso of the Department of Plant Science and
Biotechnology, in the Faculty of Science, had a Cumulative Grade Point Average
of 4.82, adding that he would plant the Convocation Tree at the University

of a university where research results should solve practical problems and
create wealth.
However, Professor Lale also promised to have dinner with all the
first class graduates and graduates with distinction from the College of Health
Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
