The just concluded 27th Convocation that took place in the Rivers University Of Science And Technology reminded us all of the beauty that lies behind a Determined Mind. Master Falola Yusuf a graduate of Petroleum Engeineering who garduated with the CGPA of 4.82 stunned the crowd of graduands and well wishers when he was announced as the best graduating student. His story is a very inspiring one as he shared his not-very-privilege-background story...
He said "The Ogun State born graduate noted that he comes from a poor background and had to rely on assistance from colleagues.
“I can’t even say that my family is an average family.
"But I have just been able to manage the little resources and financial assistance from some of my colleagues in the university."He however attributed his success to God.
“My achievement was made possible through the assistance of the God and dedication to my studies," he added.
"I was able to manage the time because there were many activities in the university and for you to be a graduate and a responsible Nigerian; you have to participate in many activities.
“Before I entered the department, I heard many things about lecturers.
"Many say that lecturers victimise students and that if you do not pay money, you are likely to fail their courses.
"That is a blatant lie."
Falola's father is a transporter while his mother is a trader.
