In the same post, he mentioned the impressive CGPA he graduated with from the University of Lagos.
He shared his CGPA:
"Last month, I had the honour of walking across the stage at my Convocation Ceremony, officially graduating as a First Class Accounting graduate of the University of Lagos (CGPA: 4.84/5.0).
"But that moment was more than a ceremony. It was the closing of one chapter that began years ago with ambition, uncertainty, and a decision to bet on discipline. From countless late nights of study, to moments of doubt, pressure, and silent prayers.
"There were days when I moved from the noise of the market to the silence of my books. Days when the weight of ambition felt heavier than my circumstances. Days I had to remind myself why I started.
"The goal was never just to get a degree. The goal was excellence, growth, and transformation.
"What you see today as 'First Class' was built on consistency in unseen seasons, choosing discipline over comfort, preparation over excuses, and faith over fear.
"And here is how the journey unfolded:
The brilliant student, Francis Ezeakunwanne, made it known in his viral post that he wrote several other exams, which he passed in one sitting, and he shared details of all until the year he finished his university education."
He explained in detail the year he completed his secondary school education and got admitted into the University of Lagos, UNILAG.
