Osanyinlusi Mary, Owolabi
Olayinka and Adekunle Adekola, three students of the University of Ibadan (UI),
have earned automatic employment from the institution, after graduating with
7.0, 7.0, and 6.9 CGPAs respectively.
Abel Olayinka, the institution’s
vice-chancellor, announced this on Monday at the grand finale of the school’s
2019 convocation programme, which held at the International Conference Center,
Ibadan, where the three best-graduating PG students were named.
While Osanyinlusi of the
Department of Animal Science snagged an impressive 7.0 CGPA alongside Owolabi
from the Department of Botany, Adekunle joined the ranks of the duo after
similarly graduating with a 6.9 CGPA.
With similar cases being reported
annually among indigenous universities in Nigerians and in the diaspora, there
is no gainsaying the fact that Nigerians might have a thing for the books.
In 2007, Elizabeth Orefuwa, the
best graduating student of Lagos State University (LASU), came to be a student
who had written the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) seven
times before gaining admission into the institution.
A similar case also played out at
the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) where Abdulwaheed Shitta, a student
whose father’s death had robbed him of all hope, eventually emerged the overall
best student at the 31st convocation ceremony.
