KWASU graduate shares JAMB story
Shalom Ajayi, a graduate of Microbiology, emerged as the best graduating student from his department after finishing with a very high CGPA.
He took to his LinkedIn page to share his story.
In his post, he wrote:
"BSc. Microbiology.
"First Class Honours (4.78/5.0).
"Best Graduating Male Student, Department of Microbiology.
"Greater is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.
"December 13, 2025, did not just mark the end of an era for me, but symbolises the start of new beginnings."
He also shared his JAMB experience and the number of times he wrote the exam, adding that he did not fail any of them.
According to him, in his very first JAMB exam, he scored a high mark of 291.
"My journey started with humble beginnings, three JAMB attempts. I never failed any; I even had a score of 291 in my first attempt. But little did I know that all of these were just part of a process of character development and a redirection to discovering the plan and purpose God had in store for me. I got into the Department of Microbiology clueless, more or less, but with a burning determination for excellence. I started with a CGPA of 4.38, but God Almighty and the wonderful people He sent my way brought me this far," he explained in his LinkedIn post.
He went on to list his several achievements in the university and some of the awards he won.
