I think this is not the best idea or action to take in Nigerian educational sector. They should do something about the high cost tuition fees, high cost of living on campuses, poor infrastructure in Nigerian universities; rather than the grading system.
Nigerian educational sector is in a big mess, decreasing the grading point will lead to degrading education in Nigerian.
With such grading system, more of first class graduates shall be produced but what about their rating academically?
