Chinyere, the mother of a final-year student of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State, has explained why she gifted her son, Promise Okoro, a goat during his department’s sign-out ceremony.

The gesture, which was captured in a viral video, attracted cheers from students as Chinyere presented the goat to her son before hugging him tightly.

Speaking in an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Monday, the woman said the gift was her way of rewarding Promise for making her proud, obeying her instructions and staying away from cultism.
