UI Microbiology student bags first-class

Her X post read:
"Microbiology, University of Ibadan. First Class Honours. Best Graduating Student.. I came, I saw, and it looks like I conquered."
On her LinkedIn post, she gave more details about her story:
"Finding out I would be graduating as the top student in the department of Microbiology felt like a dream come true. My final year was riddled with so much emotional, financial, and personal turmoil, that finishing the session with a perfect CGPA was nothing short of a miracle.
"This situation entirely describes how my academic journey has been: years and years of effort, of late nights, of all the fires I had to put out along the way. Of all the things I had to do scared, especially when I didn't feel confident or brave or bold. When I wondered if some things were bigger than me, or if I had any right to dream this big or this far.
"All the countless projects I worked on, the scholarships, the competitions and the roles I took on that contributed to this wonderful experience fabled to be the best four years of one's life.
"In December, I defended my undergraduate project at the University of Ibadan. That day was a bittersweet moment for me—the culmination of weeks of sampling, testing, failed experiments, repeated procedures, contamination, and isolate loss, all leading up to this one final moment.
"I woke up with a sore throat, a banging headache, and high fever. In less than two hours, I'd be defending over six months of work. Less than 10 minutes before I was called in, my dress ripped.
"I don't know how I was able to calm myself down in order to defend successfully. My throat wasn't working, I didn't feel on top of anything, yet I did it anyway; with a ripped gown and a voice that barely worked."
