A first-class graduate has become the centre of attention for an unexpected act during the certificate presentation ceremony at the 57th congregation of the KNUST.

The incident has sparked debates and a range of viewpoints among viewers after being documented on camera and posted on social media.

First-class graduates receiving their certificate tubes and shaking hands with lecturers to celebrate their academic accomplishments are captured in the video, which was first shared on the X page of @dr_doreeeeenn. The specific graduate in question shook hands with the first two professors in queue while wearing her graduation gown. But many were shocked by what happened next.

The girl made the fairly unusual decision to ignore the third professor in queue. The professor reached out to shake hands, but the KNUST First-Class Graduate refused to accept the gesture or look the professor in the eye, setting off an awkward moment that has since gone viral.
