A family has praised Dundee University after a father and son graduated 24 hours apart.

Sulaiman Badmus graduated in mechanical engineering on Wednesday, then watched his father Abdulwaheed collect his certificate in Scottish Law on Thursday.

They follow Sulamain's sister, Mariam, who graduated in 2016, while Abdulwaheed's wife Khadijat is due to finish her own degree in Scottish Law later this year.

The family, originally from Nigeria, now plan to put their degrees to use in careers in Scotland.

Sulamain said that the friendliness of Scottish people initially attracted the Badmus family to the country.

He said: "Everything is wonderful about Dundee. We think it is marvellous. We were able to integrate so quickly into Scottish culture and feel much more involved here than anywhere else."

Father Abdulwaheed added: "Dundee is an excellent example of inclusive education, it is laudable and something we, as graduates, should be proud of.

"Studying in Dundee is like a second chance. I will be 55-years-old next year and the University helped me to start a new career with a promising future. Dundee sets the pace for inclusive education for all, irrespective of family backgrounds and ethnic diversities.

"No matter who you are and where you are from, I think that Scottish education can help you become who you want to be."
