At the 24th Convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Minna held last Saturday, 22-year-old, Osimimi Victor Oludare, stole the show as he emerged the best overall graduating student.
.
Oludare who studied Electrical/Electronics Engineering obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.76 to clinch the number one position.
.
In a chat with the National Mirror shortly after the ceremony, Oludare recounted his journey to stardom, saying it all started from his primary school days.
.
He attended Goddy Nursery and Primary School, Okene and NIOMCO Staff Secondary School, Itakpe, both in Kogi state, where he equally graduated as the overall best student of his set.
.
Oludare from Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of Kogi State did not deviate from the path of hard work and commitment he had known for when he gained admission into FUT Minna five years ago.
.
He faced his studies squarely and ensured he did not miss class and other engagements including Christian fellowship activities he knew would enhance his education. He also decided not to keep girl friend so as not to distract him.
.
He said: "Although, I had many female friends, I was not into anything intimate with any of them. I knew combining academic works with a relationship would be difficult to cope with since every relationship would be demanding on both parties. For example, it will demands for time and attention, among others and I was not ready for all that. So, I avoided it."
.
Even though he knew he was in First Class category all along, he never knew he had the highest CGPA in his set.
