Ayomide's 4.77 CGPA at Lagos State University highlights academic excellence
In a follow-up post on her page, the graduate known as @ayothemediagirl went on to share the actual numbers behind the achievement.
She wrote:
"Talk plenty for mouth. But gratitude full HEART. 4.77/5.00 CGPA. First Class Honours in Communication and Media Studies, Lagos State University. Get in jhoor! God did fr."
A Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.77 out of a possible 5.00 placed Ayomide firmly within first-class territory, a distinction that reflects consistent high performance maintained across all eight semesters of study at LASU.
Speaking with Legit.ng, Ayomide advised students studying Communication and Media Studies to look beyond their classroom lessons and develop practical digital skills that could prepare them for opportunities in the evolving media industry.
She explained that although the degree provides a solid foundation, students need to acquire additional skills in areas such as brand strategy, digital positioning, public relations and corporate storytelling to stand out professionally.
According to the LASU graduate, students should take advantage of online courses, certifications and other learning opportunities available to them while still in school.
She said:
"The degree is great but a degree alone won't cut it. We are living in a digital-first world that evolves every single day. The version of Mass Communication taught inside the classroom is only a tiny slice of what exists out there. Beyond the lecture halls, communications branches into brand strategy, digital positioning, narrative design, crisis PR and corporate storytelling."
"My only advice is this, learn digital-first skills while you are still in school. It doesn't just mean video editing or graphics. It means understanding strategy, learning how to position brands and taking deliberate online courses. As a student, your student ID is a superpower. Countless global platforms offer free licenses, student discounts, and certifications if you just ask."
Beyond her impressive academic performance, Ayomide also reflected on the experiences that made her time at LASU memorable, highlighting her participation in two major public relations and advertising competitions in 2024.
She recalled working with talented teammates to represent the university at the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) Advertising Industry Colloquium (AIC 2.0), where they finished third, before securing first place at the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) Lagos PR Fest in the same year.
For Ayomide, the achievements demonstrated that she could excel academically while also developing her creative abilities and representing her institution on a national stage.
Recalling the experience, she told Legit.ng:
"My happiest memory was in 2024, when I worked alongside incredible teams to bring major public relations and advertising honours home to LASU."
"That year, our team represented the university and emerged as the second runner-up (3rd place) at the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) Advertising Industry Colloquium (AIC 2.0). In that same year, we went on to win first place at the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) Lagos PR Fest."
"Standing on those stages and bringing those wins back to our school was unforgettable. For me, it was the realization that I could be an 'A' student, build a creative team and also represent LASU on a national stage. That feeling of collective pride and giving back to my university is something I will cherish forever."
