Cursory: Adegoke Asisat Aderike, the top graduate of OOU, shared her life journey after completing her studies. Raised by a single mother, she faced challenges but remained optimistic. With a 4.9 CGPA in pharmacology, she aims to pursue a successful career, aspiring to earn her PhD before turning 30. She hopes to secure a fully funded scholarship in the UK to further her academic journey.

Adegoke Asisat Aderike, the top-performing graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Ogun state, shared her post-undergraduate life experiences in an interview with Legit.ng. Asisat disclosed that she was raised by a single mother and faced significant challenges during her time at the university. However, she remains hopeful for a brighter future after completing her studies.

“I was emotional because this was a great feat that had never happened in the community. I was happy seeing the whole community celebrating my success. I’ve always been a hardworking Student. No doubt that I put my best into academics. “I never expected it because, for every grade I get, I always think or believe someone is above me. I was excited, but I’ll say my family was over-excited upon the announcement of the success, and they all knew it was well deserved as they had known me to be passionate about academics.”

Asisat, who graduated with a degree in pharmacology and achieved a remarkable 4.9 CGPA, recounted that her primary struggle during her undergraduate years was financial constraints, compounded by her father’s passing fifteen years ago and her siblings’ simultaneous pursuit of education.

However, she viewed these difficulties as fuel for her determination. Asisat expressed her aspirations to become financially independent and self-sufficient, aiming to obtain her PhD before reaching the age of 30.

Reflecting on her academic journey, Asisat shared the strategies that contributed to her success and encouraged fellow students not to abandon their aspirations.

She said: “Students should endeavour to pray and commit their academics into God’s hand so that they’ll have faith to accept whatever bad grades might come their way so that they would not be weighed down or felt inferior. They will see it as a reason to put more effort and read because it’s inevitable.

“There are times a student will write an exam worth having a grade ‘A’ and later end up getting what they didn’t plan for. In short, they must always be prepared for the bad times.

“Believing in oneself is key. Always believe that if Mr A can do this or achieve this great success, you can also do it or achieve the same feat.”They should ensure to keep friends who motivate them and always encourage them to do more, friends that will push them to their success. I can boldly say my friends are part of my success story.

“As a student, always aim for the highest grades, each time you remember this, trust me, you’ll see reasons to read your book always…

“Most importantly, my junior ones should ensure to put 100% attention and commitment into their academics, attend classes, listen to lectures, study their lecturers, note what the lecturers lay more emphasis on and avoid distraction as much as they can.”

Asisat revealed that she looked forward to getting a fully funded scholarship in the United Kingdom.
