The Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science, has awarded Miss Mary Ebhomielen Ofure, as the best graduating student at the 2019 convocation ceremony.
Miss Ebhomielen finished with the highest Cumulative Grade Point Average obtainable, CGPA of 7.0
Ebhomielen received a thunderous ovation when she was presented to parents and well-wishers at the ceremony.
For her excellent performance, she received a special handshake from the Vice Chancellor, Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka, who could not hide his admiration for the academic star.
Olayinka said, “Ofure Mary Ebhomielen is the fourth person ever to have obtained perfect Cummulative Grade Point Average (7.0 out of 7.0) in the 71-year history of the University of Ibadan. This is worth celebrating and we are indeed very proud of her.”
In her brief speech, intermittently interrupted by applause, Mary, who congratulated her fellow graduands, noted that they were being celebrated for burning the night candles.
She said success did not come easily, adding that apart from making a good grade in the university, one still needed to prove himself or herself in the outside world.
Ebhomielen called on those who did not make upper division to go out there and prove their worth.
