campus spurred him to academic

The 21-year old Chemical Engineering
graduate, who had a total of 4.96
Cumulative Point Grade Average, CGPA,
told our source in an interview, that he
lost his father midway into his final
exams in school.
Akinpelumi stated that the tragedy did
not deter him from continuing with his
quest to excell academically.
He said rathe it propelled him to ensure
that he finished on a high.
“I had always known that I would do
well in the tertiary institution because I
was the best student at the
International School, Lagos, ISL, and
expectations had been high when I got
here.
“In my second year here, I was already
on a 5.0 so I thought I just needed to
do a little more to end my first degree
as one of the best placed students.
“However, I lost my dad in August last
year, midway into my final exams. It
was the most challenging period for me
throughout my stay in UNILAG because
he had such a huge influence on my
academic quest.
“So, for me to still come out with a 5.0
grade that semester, despite the
challenges, it was just God. That was
the defining moment for me at the
University of Lagos.”
Asked what he will do with his really
impressive grades, the second of his
parents’ three children, stated that he
was not thinking about what comes
next. Instead, he is looking forward to
how he will handle what comes after
graduating.
“I am really not bothered about the
next thing that happens. I am only
particular about how I respond to what
comes next. Quite a number of offers
have come already and I am just
trusting God to know which of them I
should accept.
“I would not like to mention names
now, but offers from institutions and
companies of repute have come. So, I
am just seeking God’s guidance to know
which one to go for.
“About two to three companies have
already shown interest in me to work
with them,” he said.
