Tunde Mustapha, a graduate of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, who trended online following the display of his academic achievement, spoke with Legit.ng where he shared more details about his journey in UNILAG and his graduation story.
He mentioned that initially, he never thought of attending the University of Lagos, as his father had another school in mind, while he also wanted to pursue a degree in LASU, but eventually, he settled for UNILAG after he had a change of thoughts. He explained this in his response to a question from Legit.ng.
When asked what inspired him to study Accounting and why UNILAG,
Tunde Mustapha explained in detail:
"Honestly, my parents, particularly my father, wanted me to attend OAU, but I personally wanted to attend LASU so I could join my friends there. But fortunately, I heard more about how UNILAG products usually make headlines in innovative things, so I decided to pick UNILAG owing to the decades of excellence of the school."
"The individual with a CGPA of 4.77 spoke further. Legit.ng had asked if he had planned to finish with a first class degree from the university, to which he gave a negative response."
However, he explained what pushed him to study hard, a move that eventually paid off academically and otherwise.
He added:
"No, it was not in my plan, but something that made me feel like I needed to put in the work for a first class was when I resumed after gaining admission. The popular slogan among the seniors in the school is to tell you how you should have a first class GPA and how you will have a lot of benefits like scholarships, 50,000 naira yearly from the school, free hostels without balloting. All these are what adjusted my belief that I can achieve this."
"Then my first semester results in 100 level came out very good. I had A in all my courses despite the challenges I faced then, because it came to my mind that if I could get this kind of result while working in a company and combining ICAN at the same time, then it wouldn't be hard for me to graduate with a first class with consistency."
"And my reading style is very simple. I just ensure to learn every day, at least something related to my academics. This particular practice has helped me so much in my life and career."
The scholar also explained how he felt seeing his final year result:
"Interestingly, the day my final CGPA came out was the day I received my first salary after school. Though I saw my salary first and I was so happy, then came the result on the portal."
"At a glance of the result, I was honestly happy. I felt the relief in my heart after a long period of time in school, and my first reaction to the result was 'Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin."
"The first person I called was my dad after seeing my result to inform him. He was so happy to hear the announcement."
