Ondo state - A 19-year-old student, Miss Ifeoluwa Adeyemi, has emerged as the best-graduating student in the 2023/2024 academic session at Wesley University, Ondo State.
The teenager graduated with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.97 in microbiology.
Adeyemi said the desire to make her parents proud was her motivation to come out with a great grade.
According to The Punch, Adeyemi said having a boyfriend would have distracted her during her undergraduate studies.
"But for me, I see it as a distraction because I cannot divide my attention. A boyfriend might demand my time, and I wouldn’t be able to put my full effort into my studies.”
She stated this after the university’s 13th convocation ceremony on Saturday, November 23.
The award-winning scholar disclosed that she will pursue a Master’s degree and a PhD.
Adeyemi also revealed her ambition is to be a researcher.
She added that her goal of making a positive impact in the health sector drove her to dedicate herself to microbiology.
“First, I have parents I cannot disappoint. That was always on my mind. Whenever I felt distracted, I reminded myself that my parents were out there, and I needed to make them proud.”
