I Graduated With Second Class Upper – Wole Soyinka

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has dispelled the insinuation that he graduated with third-class division.
 
He made this disclosure in Aboekuta on Sunday when he hosted secondary school students across the country as part of this year’s Open Door Series Project, an international cultural exchange programme.

Soyinka said that he graduated from the University College, Ibadan with a Second Class Upper.

He explained that although he had kept silent on the issue over the years, he decided to open up for the first time over the rumour as a mark of respect for the participants.
The programme was organised as part of activities to mark his 79th birthday.
