A brilliant young Nigerian man named Sheu Oluokun has achieved remarkable success after graduating from the University of Lagos with a First-Class degree in Banking and Finance, earning an outstanding CGPA of 4.91.
What makes his achievement even more remarkable is that he also earned his certification as a Chartered Accountant while graduating in the top 1% of his class.
Sheu's Story and How He Did It
Sheu’s journey began in 2019, and from day one, he pursued excellence relentlessly. In 2022, while in his second year, he enrolled in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) professional exams.
The journey was grueling, with sleepless nights, endless studying, and immense pressure, but his determination never wavered.
“There were moments I honestly wanted to quit… but I kept showing up. I kept working. I kept believing. Today, I can boldly say that every sleepless night paid off,” Sheu reflected on LinkedIn.
And in 2024, he passed his exams with all-around success and was certified as a chartered accountant. In addition to academic and professional success, Sheu actively participated in competitions and student initiatives.
He earned the CFA Ethics National Challenge Champion and served as the Head of the MSA Student Entrepreneurship Challenge 2025.
Sheu credits his success to the support of his lecturers, friends, and mentors: “To my Lecturers: Thank you for pushing me to strive for perfection… To my Friends: Thank you for being my sanity, my study partners, and my support system when the road got tough,” he said.
Looking ahead, Sheu said his journey continues as he is ready to take on the finance industry with ambition and resilience. He encourages other students to chase their dreams.
“Don’t let anyone tell you it’s impossible. Keep pushing, stay focused, and believe in yourself. You are more than you think,” he said.
