AFRICA | A brilliant Nigerian lady, Adeniyi Adebola Precious, has emerged as the best graduating student from the Department of Physiology at the University of Lagos after earning a first-class degree with an impressive 4.85 CGPA out of 5.00.
Celebrating her success on LinkedIn, Adebola described her journey as one that moved from deep setbacks to a moment of triumph. She reflected on her past, recalling how her academic path began with significant struggles.
During her A-Levels, she failed every course she took—a painful experience that made her feel like she had reached a dead end. But instead of giving up, Adebola saw it as the beginning of a new and greater journey.
That low point became the fuel for her determination to rise. Throughout her time in university, Adebola stayed focused and embraced every challenge with renewed strength.

Whether in the classroom or leadership roles, she always strived to give her best. Looking back, she gives all the glory to God, who she says has been her anchor through it all.
