Unilag Pg 2015: Can a First Class Graduate Apply Directly to do Phd in Unilag?

 This is a question from a first class gentleman who wanted to know if he can proceed to do his Phd in computer science  in university of Lagos.


I think many people don't know that as first class graduates, they can proceed directly to do Phd in their chosen field.


Hope you learn one or two things from the answer below.
