Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi on Wednesday granted scholarship and N5million cash reward to the overall best graduating student of Lagos State University (LASU), Ogunsanya Fuhad Adetoro.
Adetoro, who is of the Faculty of Management Sciences, was announced as the best graduating student at the 22nd convocation ceremony held at the Auditorium Complex of the University in Ojo having scored CGPA 4.78.
Responding to Adetoro’s request for scholarship to go for Masters’ study outside the country, Governor Ambode said he would personally finance the student’s education in any university of his choice anywhere in the world.
Gov. Ambode said, “In response to the best graduating student’s request, Lagos State Government does not generally give scholarship anymore but only bursary. So, I adopt him. His story is too compelling and it reflects on my own story. So, any university he wants to go, I will do it personally; I will be responsible. In addition to that, because he is the best graduating student, I dash him N5million."

I commend this. I'm so happy right now. Wow!. Hard work pays guys.
ReplyDeleteLaudable. We need more of this. Let's start rewarding hard work and good grades again. Enough of promoting mediocrity and immorality. Congratulations to the student. Make this count.
ReplyDeleteThank God good effort is made towards appreciating hard work. Not like some people who went to disgrace their fathers ancestors on national TV and came out being celebrated for being arrogant,insensitive,full of bile and venom. Well done Gov Ambode.
ReplyDeleteGovernor can't even speak correct English: "I dash him . . ."
ReplyDeleteWhich "personal money?"
Or personal loot?
hahahahaha
DeleteHe can't speak correct English because the other things he said were in Latin Abi?Ode
DeleteThis is how to motivate students,congrats man.
ReplyDeleteNice one, lets promote education.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. My sister was there too. Congrats to the boy
ReplyDeleteThats great!! Congrats to the guy. Formal Education should be celebrated and not everytime beauty queen this, fashion that or bbn sef lol
ReplyDeleteBetter o, better. Reward hard work rather than mediocrity.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Ambode..this is what we want in this country. Let's start celebrating intellectuals,I believe that's what we need to move this country forward.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good. How about that female referee that saved a dying player during the female league by performing CPR? I hear this is the second he has performed such life saving act, please they shoud seek her out and reward her too. She is a Lagosian I and she was only given #10,000, she deserves some good reward
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the student
ReplyDeleteThis is motivating 👏👏👏
Awww...congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrat to the student,very good of the governor..unlike some governor miss road who gifted money to pornstars.
ReplyDeleteAmbode did well..
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, someone say in a house for 3months, ate free food, gbenshed free kpekus, got free cloths and got 45M, while someone that read books continuously for 4/5 years and probably wasn't able to afford a decent meal and might use his degree in developing the country only got 5M.
I'm not saying 5M is small, I'm just saying we can do better in this country. Let's get our priorities sorted.
*stayed
DeleteIf them no do una go complain, if they do na another wahala. So because of big brother they should give above 45m.
