He also claimed the title of Overall Best Graduating Student in the Faculty of Technology, alongside what he described as the highest CGPA in the entire University of Ibadan.
However, his highest CGPA claim could not be confirmed at the time of this report.
Abdullah Hammed's journey at UI
In his post, Hammed reflected warmly on his time at the institution, writing that he "had some wonderful times here" at the University of Ibadan.
The two celebratory photos and his result sheet he shared alongside the announcement quickly drew attention from fellow students, well-wishers, and those with a few questions of their own.
His achievement is particularly notable within Nigeria's engineering space, where first-class graduates remain relatively rare, and a near-perfect CGPA is rarer still.
The University of Ibadan, one of Nigeria's oldest and most respected universities, uses a 4.0 grading scale, making Hammed's 3.97 an exceptional result by any measure.
