A lady, Colette Offiong Bassey, has smashed a 44-year record of the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies at the University of Calabar (UNICAL).
Bassey graduated with a first-class degree in her department, breaking a record set in the department in 1977.
Her feat, according to a release by the university she shared on her Instagram, breaks a record that had stood since 1977.
Collette, who was heavily pregnant at the time she wrote her exams, expressed her utmost gratitude to God and her ever-supportive husband.
Here is what she wrote.
My testimony is on the next slide
To God be the glory!
I remember finishing exams on a certain Wednesday and giving birth that Saturday. It was one hell of a ride, but it ended in praise.
After God, my gratitude goes to my husband, who pushed me hard and gave me great support. I have a great support system, the rest of my family included.
Thank you
Thank you, everyone. I’m super thankful for the show of love.
It’s never too late to achieve excellence; you just have to start. Take the step, whatever it is.
The journey to greatness goes on.
My name is Colette Offiong Bassey, a first-class honors degree holder

To God be the glory!
