The University of Lagos held its pre-convocation press briefing on Wednesday.

While the briefing has since become an annual thing, no other Vice-Chancellor has had the privilege to make the announcement Prof. Rahman Bello made at the event.

One of the students billed to graduate during the upcoming three-day convocation programme made a Cummulative Grade Point Average of 5.00.

According to the Vice-Chancellor, this year, a record has been set. A graduating student in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Mr Ayodele Daniel Dada is graduating with a CGPA of 5.00.

“A perfect score. This means he scored As in all courses he took in the programme. I congratulate the graduate with a First Class‎,” he said.

Ayodele finished from the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences.

And twitter has been reacting to that rare announcement since the media broke the news.

Many have saluted him.
