The amount of money awarded to the best graduating law student in Nigeria has sparked a wave of reactions online.

This student was not only the best in his class but also achieved top results in several individual courses, showcasing exceptional brilliance.

Despite graduating in 2021, the prize money was only handed to him on November 25, 2024, over three years after his graduation.

The prize amounted to just N13,000, awarded for his extraordinary academic performance and subject excellence.

Many Nigerians have expressed their disappointment, criticizing the timing of the award and its meager value. They believe that such a small amount fails to adequately recognize and reward such an outstanding achievement.

The reactions highlight public frustration with the lack of proper appreciation for academic excellence in the country.
