Sued His University to the Supreme Court and Won ₦20,000,000! Case: Victor v. F.U.T.A. (2026) 8 NWLR (Pt. 2044) 33 Imagine graduating, knowing your grades were wrongly calculated, but being handed a lower class of degree than you earned. Most students would accept "fate" and move on. Mr. Adebayo A. Victor refused to back down. What makes this story incredible? Victor was a layman (not a lawyer), yet he personally prosecuted this case through the entire hierarchy of courts for nearly two decades. The 19-Year Battle for a 2:1 In 2007, Victor graduated in Mechanical Engineering from FUTA, receiving a Second Class Lower. Convinced his scores were wrongly recorded, he spent four years begging the university to re-mark 10 specific courses. The university ignored him. In 2011, he sued. The journey was brutal: 2013: The trial court dismissed his case on a technicality. Victor appealed and won a retrial. 2017: The High Court finally ordered FUTA to re-mark his scripts. FUTA refused and appealed. 2022: Under Supreme Court pressure, FUTA finally complied and re-marked the scripts. The Plot Twist: Victor was right all along. The independent re-marking officially upgraded his degree to a Second Class Upper. His correct certificate was physically handed to him in open court at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Defends Student Rights With the degree secured, the Supreme Court turned its attention to the university’s conduct. Led by Justice Helen Moronkeji Ogunwumiju, JSC, the apex court established a massive precedent: The Duty of Care: While universities have academic autonomy, they owe a "Duty of Care" to their students. They must provide fair assessments and transparent complaint procedures. The Penalty: By ignoring Victor for years and causing him to lose international scholarship opportunities, FUTA breached that duty. The lower court had awarded Victor a mere ₦500,000. The Supreme Court threw that out as too small and reviewed the awards upward: ₦18,000,000 in General Damages for emotional distress. ₦2,000,000 in Litigation Costs. Total Takeaway: Victor walked away with his rightful Second Class Upper degree and ₦20,000,000 in compensation. The Big Insight "Justice is not a fencing game where one party seeks to outsmart the other." Whether you run a university or a business, you cannot hide behind institutional bureaucracy to ignore legitimate complaints. Huge respect to Mr. Adebayo Victor for his unmatched resilience!

“The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths, After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth. You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead. It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire. In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future. I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender. You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership. If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation. Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future. I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country. My young friends, this is your country. Take it back. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
