The Forefront has learnt that Daniel Dada Ayodele will be the star to watch out for during the 2014/2015 convocation of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) next week.
He made a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 5.00, which the Vice Chancellor, Prof Rahamon Bello, described as a perfect score record at a pre-convocation briefing yesterday.
Bello said the Psychology student is one of the 178 First Class students who will graduate during the three-day convocation.
“This year, a record has been set. A graduating student in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Ayodele Daniel Dada, is graduating with a CGPA of 5.0.
“A perfect score; this means he scored As in all courses he took in the programme. I congratulate Mr Dada and the staff of the Department of Psychology for the feat,” he said.
A total of 10,907 students, comprising 5,472 undergraduates and 5,435 postgraduates, will graduate during the three-day convocation.
With this, the university is almost achieving parity in the ratio of undergraduates to graduate students. Its aim is to train more postgraduate students.
Of the first degree recipients, 1,617 will bag Second Class Upper degrees; 2,496, Second Class Lower; 884, Third Class, and 50, Pass.
Another 274 from the Medical Sciences and Pharmacy will graduate with unclassified degrees.
Of the 5,435 postgraduate students, 391 are getting Post Graduate Diplomas (PGD), 5,973 Masters and 71 PhDs.
The convocation will start on Monday with a lecture titled: “Positioning Nigeria as the Technology Hub of Africa” to be delivered by Minister of Science and Technology Dr. Ogbonaya Onu.
It will end on Thursday with the installation of the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibu Umar Garbai El-Kanemi, as the Seventh Chancellor.
Prof. Bello said the Faculty of Engineering topped the lot with 41 First Class degrees.
Bello said the management had recorded huge success in its stride to uplift its standard.
“Today, our environment is one of the cleanest of all the institutions in Nigeria, as we have begun waste sorting and this is yielding results.
“All our classrooms and laboratories are now comparable with any first rated university worldwide.
“Research equipment and facilities are now being modernised and research activities are taking new dimensions.
“Our internalisation efforts are also yielding fruits, despite the social challenges in Nigeria,’’ he said.
The VC added that the university is hosting 33 postgraduate students from various West African countries, under the ECOWAS Academic Mobility Scheme.
He said students exchange programme with some Canadian and Chinese universities was in the offing.
