One remarkable thing about the success is that Abigail did not go through masters before applying for her PhD.

She said:

“It’s a fully funded PhD. A direct PhD with a Bachelor’s degree. I don’t have first class, it’s just 4.27 CGPA. No WES evaluation, no TOEFL or IELTS because my school considers Nigeria as an English-speaking country. I have two research publications and research experience.”
