FUNABOAD Graduate Marvellous Olasunmade Bags First Class in Mechanical Engineering

Marvellous Olasunmade has bagged a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering with First Class Honours at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, graduating with a CGPA of 4.80 out of 5.00 as the best graduating student in his department.

Reflecting on his journey, Marvellous described the achievement as a story of God's grace, his parents' sacrifices and the impact of teachers, mentors and lecturers.

His academic path was marked by discipline, sleepless nights, countless hours of study, solving engineering problems and teaching tutorials over five years.

His story began with difficulty. Despite being among the brightest in secondary school, financial constraints almost stopped him from writing JAMB in 2020 as his older siblings were also in school. Days before the registration deadline, a family friend encouraged his father to allow him to try. He sat the examination and scored 332 out of 400.

He has expressed gratitude to all who contributed to his journey, with a message to others that persistence matters and a beginning does not have to define the ending.
