Anything is possible, once you set your heart towards it and
pay the required price for the prize:
Olaoluwa Oluwadara, 24, has bagged a Ph.D degree in
Mathematics at the just concluded 2012/2013 session convocation ceremony at the
University of Lagos. Olaoluwa, who bagged his first and second degrees in
Mathematics and Physics in 2007 and 2008 respectively from the Universite de
Bangui in Central African Republic, graduated with a Cummulative Gross Point
Average (CGPA) of 5.0 [first degree].
Olaoluwa’s feat supersedes that of Olabisi Adeyemi, a
26-year-old female who bagged a Ph.D with a CGPA of 4.98 in 2012 and Opeyemi
Shodipe, 25 of Babcock University.
Speaking during the convocation, the Vice Chancellor of
UNILAG, Professor Rahmon Bello, appealed to the President, Goodluck
Jonathan, to urgently intervene in the
resolution of the over 10-month strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union
of Polytechnics and the Academic Staff Union of Colleges of Education of
Nigeria (ASUCEON).
He appealed to the Federal Government to consider the
demands of the striking lecturers to ensure that students of the polytechnics
and colleges of education resumed their academic works as failure to do so
would be putting the lives of the leaders of tomorrow in jeopardy.
He said the call has become urgent, "in the interest of
students and to stem the falling standard of education and the increasingly
degenerating infrastructure facilities worsened by the insurgency of Boko
Haram."
