It was time to take a preliminary degree course in a Nigerian university, just like every other Nigerians of my age. My interest was much heightened to study one of the “influential” or rather popular university courses and for me it was Electrical Electronics Engineering. I had my pre-degree form painstakingly completed and neatly packaged for submission with all documents expressly attached. The excitement of a potential engineer heralded me, till an official at the point of submission sought to have a word with me.
He narrated to me the competitiveness of getting into the faculty of engineering to study Electrical Electronics Engineering in a prestigious university as am applying for and strongly suggested that I consider applying to study ANY other course offered in the faculty of agriculture to brighten my chance of admission.
