A lecturer at the University of Calabar identified as Frederick Bassey was celebrated on social media for assisting one of his students, who is a mother of twins. The lecturer helped his student babysit her twins.

According to Bassey, who talked about the experience on Twitter, the student was writing a statistics exam and he knew she would need help looking after her twins while she wrote the exam.
