20-year-old Nigerian student breaks academic record in Poland - Mhiz Rebecca - 06-25-2017
A young Nigerian, Olukayode Mobolaji Oluwasona, has
made academic history in far away Poland after he
graduated with a Cummulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) of 5.0 in Computer Technology from the
University of Computer Sciences and Skills, Lodz,
Poland.
Before his journey to Poland, Oluwasona, 20, was
leading in first class from his first semester in 200-level
programme in Babcock.
It was gathered that this was under a special degree
exchange programme arranged by Babcock University
with the University of Computer Sciences and Skills in
Lodz, Poland, where they remained ‘international
students’ until the end of their four-year course,
Vanguard reports.
Under the arrangement, they had to return to Babcock
for their last and final year in 2016, during which they
remained under the monitoring, supervision and
mentorship of their lecturers in Poland.
Oluwasona and his colleagues were the pioneers in the
four years old exchange programme between Babcock
and the Polish institution.
At the 15th convocation ceremonies of Babcock
University on Sunday, June 4, 2017, Mobolaji drew a
thunderous round of applause when he, alongside
twelve of his colleagues that successfully completed the
programme, were presented to the crowd, and he was
announced to have made a grade of 5.0, with the best
result in the programme.
Chancellor of the University of Computer Sciences and
Skills, Mrs . Aniela Bednarek, was on hand to witness
the presentation to Oluwasona of a Special Achievement
Award for his superlative academic attainment.
Speaking on his feat, Oluwasona attributed the
academic record to God and hardwork.
“By the time I was writing my final examination and
defending my final year project, my CGPA was already
4.79. It was my final overall examination, which is a
rigorous assessment of the totality of what a student
could have learnt in all his four years of study, as well
as the grading of my final year project, which was
acclaimed to be the best, that shot me beyond the
regular first class that I had already attained. The
Examination Committee was so impressed, and that
earned me the 5.0 CGPA/overall grade, which was
acclaimed to be the highest in the whole school during
the year’.
