    I studied Petroleum Engineering in my first degree. I recorded a low GPA (3.0/5.0, second class lower) in my undergraduate studies and i hope to secure a masters in Petroleum Engineering either locally or overseas. Which postgraduate schools in Nigeria will i meet their requirement based on my grade? Are there affordable schools overseas that admit such grades?
