By: Olufemi Orunsola
Miss Isioma Sybil Nwosu from the Department of Biochemistry has been recognised as the overall best-graduating student of Lagos State University, LASU, for the 2023/2024 academic session.
This announcement was made by the Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, during a press briefing to kick off activities for the 28th Convocation ceremony of the institution.
At the event, Prof. Olatunji-Bello expressed pride in the university’s role in producing market-ready graduates who are well-equipped to make significant contributions both nationally and globally.
The official convocation events of the University commenced on Monday, April 7, 2025, beginning with the Coconut Breaking and Cultural Festival at the Badagry Gate of the main campus at 9:00 AM.
The coconut-breaking ceremony, according to the Vice Chancellor, is traditionally organised by the Alumni Association as a contribution to the Convocation ceremony.
Meanwhile, Miss Isioma Sybil Nwosu who spoke with press men has reflected on her academic journey, noting that in 2019, after graduating as the valedictorian of her secondary school, she faced a setback and had to re-write UTME.
She further revealed that her earliest dream was to study medicine and surgery at the University of Ibadan but her JAMB scores fell by two points below the cut-off mark.
In her words, "The news of my repeat spread like a wildfire in my secondary school" adding that she thought she had failed in life.
Nwosu said that she equally applied for medicine and surgery at LASU but was offered biochemistry.
The best graduating student further revealed she could not embrace the course in her first year but some of her lecturers and friends encouraged her to put in her best.
She therefore advised students to study hard and be confident, and patient to achieve excellence.
