44 per cent rather than the initial 39 per cent will now be the mark for

According to the Vice
Chancellor, Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Prof. Abdulrsheed Na’Allah
Tuesday at the pre-convocation press briefing of the university, the directive

He said: “The KWASU had
technically eliminated the pass grading by making 45 per cent the least scores
for success. Even the NUC had recently given the same order to all the nation’s
universities.”
