Her name is Omobola Oduyoye, 20-years-old and she was announced as the best graduating student at Babcock University's 11th convocation which held last Sunday.
She scored a cumulative grade point average of 4.92, and was awarded a first class degree in Public Health.
On how she handled pressure from male students and lecturers, Oduyoye said:
I have a number of friends – including male students but I always draw a line between friendship for academic advancement and immoral relationship. I’m not abusive; neither am I a snub. But I don’t encourage any relationship that will distract me from my studies. I don’t encourage any action that can suggest to you that I’m a cheap commodity. I also ensure that I don’t go alone anywhere or follow anybody to dark corners even if she is a
girl like me.
It may sound funny to you, I have never kissed anyone in my life and I have not been kissed by anybody. I thank God for the grace He gives me to achieve this because I know that some people will say it is not easy but with God all things are possible.
