Covenant University graduate's study secret
Reflecting on her academics, Ijeoma, who entered the university with little knowledge of life and no plans, revealed that her grade point average (GPA) kept dropping until her second year, when God opened her eyes and reminded her that mediocrity was never His plan for her.
Ijeoma shared the study secret God opened her eyes to. Her LinkedIn post partly read:
"BEST GRADUATING STUDENT TWICE!!!
"Air Force Comprehensive School ➡️ Covenant University (Economics, 4.94 CGPA) Talk about consistency😅 .
"I came into Covenant University with little knowledge of what university life was about, no plans, no vision, and no friends. My GPA kept dropping until 200 Level Omega semester, when God opened my eyes and reminded me that mediocrity was never His plan for me. He taught me to build systems, not just goals, to focus less on “scoring 25/30” and more on “studying an hour every day.”
Ijeoma also spoke about how she balanced her academics with leadership and service.
"Through the years, I balanced academics, leadership, and service, serving as Vice President (Female) of the Nigerian Economics Students Association (NESA), Covenant University Chapter, an executive in my service unit, while also running my small business, initiating a departmental competition and progressing to the professional stage of my ICAN exams. These experiences stretched me, shaped my confidence, and refined my leadership skills.
"I had 5.0 GPAs in five semesters and graduated as the Best Student in the Department of Economics with a 4.94 CGPA. I’m deeply grateful to my family, friends, lecturers, and coursemates. Teaching others and being asked questions sharpened me more than I imagined."
She appreciated her family and friends as well as the trailblazers who inspired her journey.
" I’m deeply grateful to my family, friends, lecturers, and coursemates. Teaching others and being asked questions sharpened me more than I imagined. The all-nighters for Macroeconomics have finally come to an end, and it was all worth it. 💜✨
"Lastly, to the trailblazers who inspire my journey; Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R , Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala , Ibukun Awosika , Tope Fasua PhD, M.Phil, Msc, FCA , Chinwe Egwim , Taiwo Oyedele , Akin' Akinpelu FLPi,Ph.D I hope to follow in your footsteps and transform Africa's economy."
