Responses from Nigerians indicate that the prize money was not only received late, but has also lost value, making it an unmotivating reward for the achievement.
A recent award given to a top law graduate in Nigeria has sparked a variety of reactions on social media.
The graduate, who earned the highest marks in his class and excelled in several subjects, was honored for his academic achievements.
Although he completed his studies in 2021, the recognition only came recently, on November 25, 2024.
The total prize amount awarded for his outstanding performance was just N13,000.
Nigerians have expressed their disappointment, noting the delay in receiving the prize and its diminished value, which fails to serve as an adequate incentive for such an accomplishment.
Here are some of the reactions:
