The Ajitokewus' journey through LASU
In his LinkedIn post, Taiwo recalled that their academic path was not without its critics. Some people questioned the value of their course choices, but the brothers said they chose to see possibility where others saw doubt. "Excellence is the reward of steadfastness and consistency," Taiwo wrote, summing up the philosophy that carried them through their undergraduate years.
Beyond their grades, the twins built an impressive record during their time at LASU. Together, they earned two national scholarships, one international recognition, and more than four local scholarships. They also benefited from two professional mentorships and shared the same final-year project supervisor, Distinguished Emeritus Professor Peter A. Okebukola, OFR.
The brothers expressed deep gratitude to their parents, siblings, teachers, lecturers, and mentors, crediting every act of encouragement and sacrifice with playing a role in their success. They also acknowledged their faith, offering thanks to Allah and sending salutations to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
