This comes after a recent controversy at Nnamdi Azikwe University, where a female student was expelled for allegedly assaulting a lecturer, sparking widespread debate.

The video of Dr. Abia, however, has been met with positivity, with many Nigerians praising his approach to student engagement.

Reactions from social media:

Many commenters highlighted how a lecturer’s attitude toward students often reflects their personality and home life, with some contrasting this positivity with strict or unfriendly lecturers.

In a country where academic stress is high, moments like this remind students that learning can also be fun.
