University of Ibadan graduate bags first-class degree
Abdulmujeeb Adewale mentioned a point in his life when his academic journey took a different turn, and he began to notice improvement.
He shared:
"On November 13, 2025, exactly a week ago, at the University of Ibadan International Conference Centre, I made my parents proud, my family proud, and everyone who has ever believed in me proud. It was the happiest moment of my life when I was announced as the Overall Best Student in the Department of Special Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, with a CGPA of 3.80 out of 4.00."
After disclosing the CGPA he finished with from the university, he spoke about his secondary school days in the TikTok post and explained that he took last position in secondary school.
He continued:
"Anyone who knew me in secondary school knows how much I struggled academically. I was one of the students who took last position in class. I did not see myself as brilliant, and nothing about my results suggested that I would one day become a top student. What changed my story was the policy introduced by the former governor of Oyo State, Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, in 2016."
He spoke further about his convocation party and the several times his name was mentioned during the event at the University of Ibadan.
He continued:
"Hearing my name being called again and again to receive merit awards during the 77th Founders Day and Convocation Ceremony brought tears to my eyes. I remembered how I used to attend end-of-year parties in secondary school and clap for awardees because I knew I wasn’t anywhere close to them academically. Standing on that stage as the one receiving awards after completing my first degree felt like a dream that God made real."
