Two students of the University of Lagos graduate with 5.0 CGPA

Two female students, Oyindamola Omotuyi and Bankole Taiwo have graduated from the University of Lagos with 5.0 CGPA in the 2015/2016 session.

Oyindamola, 22, emerged as Best Graduating Student from the Department of Systems Engineering while Taiwo finished from the department of Cell Biology and Genetics. 

Oyindamola based her academic success on the encouragement and support she received from the Redeemed Christian Fellowship and God.

“Well, I must say it’s been God all through. He provided wisdom at every point. Also, He brought my coursemates and friends who helped me immensely. I worked a lot with people. It’s good to include that there were challenges but the beautiful thing is that they were for a short while. It was not easy but considering the fact that God provided strength all the way, I would say it was easy with God. It’s good to read but yet read rightly. Ride on the wings of those that have gone ahead. Ask questions about the nitty gritty of the course and what the lecturer wants. During exams, write what your lecturer want to see not what you want to write. Work with your classmates.” Oyindamola said. 

21-year old Taiwo also gave tips of success

“It’s possible to strike a balance with social and academic commitments if the individual is good with time management and self-study. It wasn’t easy to graduate with 5.00 GPA because there were a lot of challenges but God made it easy and I overcame. My advice to students is that they should be determined, have self-confidence, trust God in everything, set their goals in having a good result and work towards it, and they should be the best in whatever they do. There will be a lot of challenges though but they will overcome end don’t forget there’s always light after every dark tunnel, success don’t come easily.”

Congratulations to them.
