GOVERNOR Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has called on Nigerian youths and students not to see excellence in academic performance and better life accomplishment as mysterious but a result of determination and deep commitment.
The governor stated this while receiving Sodiq Olayinka, 2015 best graduating student of the University of Ibadan, at the Government House in Osogbo.
Olayinka, who emerged the best student having clinched all the Departmental and Faculty awards and prices, was accompanied by Abdul Rasheed Ayotunde Olabomi, Aragbiji of Iragbiji, to the State House.
Olayinka, 23, who studied vertinary medicine, hails from Iragbiji in Boripe Local Government area of Osun, set a new record of eight distinctions, a feat that has never been achieved in the 67 years existence of the University of Ibadan.
Aregbesola described Olayinka as a shinning and worthy example worthy of a role model for any serious minded student anywhere in the world. “You are a brand new academic giant and setting a record in the life of the existence of the University of Ibadan, eight distinctions is an indication that nothing is impossible for a determined personality.
“Dr. Sodiq Olayinka Olamide’s rare feat is by all intent an inspiration to all students in Iragbiji his home town, state of Osun and Nigeria, as well as an encouragement to people who are desirous of emulating your new record,” the governor said.
Aregbesola noted that the emergency of the 2015 best graduating student who hails from Iragbiji had proved to the whole world that distinctions, success and academic excellence were not limited to a place or environment.
Also speaking, Gboyega Oyetola, chief of staff to the governor, said the feat of Olayinka was an example of what a disciplined child should be.
Oyetola, who is also from Iragbiji said: “Your recognition and feat of the 2015 best graduating student of the University of Ibadan came at a time when some students have gone astray at tender age, some disgracefully impregnated putting a stop to their academic pursuit, I congratulate you.”
Olabomi in his remarks, applauded the progressive steps of Governor Aregbesola in all sectors assuring that posterity will place him on the positive side of history.
The honoree who expressed appreciation to the governor for receiving him and for the honour assured of his readiness to contribute his own quota to the development of the state of Osun.
