The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has offered
recording-setting First Class Law graduate, at the Lagos State University
(LASU), Miss. Yusuf Aminat, who hails from Edo State, automatic employment into
the State’s public service.
Yusuf emerged as the best ever graduate at LASU with a 5.0
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in the institution’s Law Degree
Programme.
The governor’s offer was conveyed by the Head of Service,
Anthony Okungbowa Esq. where he said “Beyond merely congratulating her, we have
offered automatic employment to her. Indeed, we have reached out to her parents
and spoken with them. They have accepted our offer of employment.”
The Deputy Governor of the state, Rt Hon Philip Shaibu had
earlier hosted Aminat and her parents in his office where he said she is a role
model to young Nigerians who have demonstrated their desire to take back
Nigeria into their hands.
Shaibu said “You have given hope to that child that thinks
all is lost. Nigeria is in dire need of role models, role models are lacking in
our system and the last elections showed that the young people are ready to
take their destiny in their hands, people like you will have to play a role to
motivate them.”
The Dean of the Law Faculty in LASU, Professor Kareem
Olatoye who was represented by Obadan Abudu who is a lecturer in the University
said she is very hard working and always in the library.
To her father, Ibrahim Yusuf, Aminat has always shown the
tendencies to be bright and while appreciating the state government for the
offer advocated the return of bursary for students.
“In the past, there used to be a policy of bursary for Edo
Students studying anywhere in the country, I think this is the time for the
government to give that a thought again because I know what we passed through
for her to study Law.”
Responding, Amina said she is a proud Edo person and was
always ready to give back to her homeland.
She said “I have always been very passionate about reading
law and the fact that women of today now have more opportunities than our
mothers had I wanted to also show that to a full extent when given the
opportunity we will excel and with God’s support and my parent’s support;
“I have been able to
do that and the goal is excel beyond my imagination and I intend to go as far
as my imagination can take me and I am passionate about my state.”
