DELSU Overall BGS Calls For better Renumeration For Outstanding Graduates

The best graduating student of the Delta State University (DELSU) for the 2021/2022 academic session, Ewere Emmanuel Obuseh has called for better renumeration for outstanding graduates as opposed to what obtains currently.

Myschoolnews reports Emmanuel who hails Agbor in Ika-South Local government area of Delta State pointed this out in a recent interview with the tribune newspaper.

Here are excerpts of the interview:

Question: In what ways did your background aid your sterling performance to the point of emerging as the best overall graduating student at DELSU? 

Answer: Well, I was not always this good. I was almost coming 3rd to last in my primary school days, while my twin always came first. It was more of a motivation when I was being laughed at different times compared to my twin. So, I will say it was solely a motivation on my part and hard work in general.

Question:  How did you attain the feat amid various distractions encumbering today’s youths vis-a-vis their academic pursuits? 

Answer: I was well-focused immediately after I made my goal of graduating as the overall best student in 100 level. I never joked with anything academics and was prudent in time management. My books always came first.

Question: At what point during your undergraduate days did you realise you could emerge tops in your final year? 

Answer: From 100 level. This is because I was awarded the best student when I was in 100 level, so my conviction for being the overall best was stamped.

Question: One major distraction, besides social media and its attendant variables, is coping with girls’ overtures being a sharp boy. How did you handle them?

Answer: Like I said earlier, my books come first in everything I do. I always tell them beforehand that this is who I am. They were always attracted to me because of this goal as it also boosted their academic performance. 

Question: Why did you study Electrical Electronics Engineering?

Answer: I was always finding myself fixing electrical devices, and I am good at mathematics. So, I just followed the passion.

Question:  What major challenge did you face during your degree programme? 

Answer: The major challenge was in keeping friends. I only had friends that were in line with what I wanted. Most of them harbored the notion of ‘school na scam.’ So, I lost most. 

Question: What area of your degree programme do you want to major in at the postgraduate level and why?

Answer: Renewable energy under solar energy. That is where my project was centered on: ‘Design and construction of a 2.5KVA solar power system’.

Question: In your speech as the best-graduating student, you requested the governor, in collaboration with DELSU authorities, to offer you and others appointments and scholarships for further studies. Between furthering your education via scholarship and getting a job placement, which comes first?

Answer: A scholarship is the main aim. The job placement part was to emphasize the need for a good reward for excellence and more so a right for a best-graduating student as it has been for a long time. It is really disheartening to see someone leaving Big Brother Naija (Africa’s No. 1 entertainment show) with millions of naira, but someone who comes out well in school is just given a plaque. This is to show where the country places education. 

Question: What qualities brought you to this glory that fellow students can learn from to attain their academic goals? 

Answer: Select a goal and work towards it. That is, of course, after praying and putting God first.
