The Nigerian UK based international scholar of repute was earlier on Thursday delivered the convocation lecture with the title “The Genius in You” promised that his foundation would shoulder the fees of the four lucky students.
In his lecture, Imafidon said every individual has special inborn genius which might be suppressed, repressed or expressed.
According to him, the perceived academically challenged students are not worst as we are merely made to believe but they are miseducated in a particular field and could be redefined to be geniuses through best and appropriate counsel.
He gave assurance that the two worst students picked will rewrite their history as their hidden talents and skills will be unveiled, properly utilised and people will agree with him that every complete human being is biologically programmed to have sound sense of reasoning.
The four would-be beneficiaries of the scholarship award are one male and one female best graduating students as well as one male and one female worst graduating students.
