LASU Graduate Oluwamajemu Akinyele Bags First Class in Biology Education

Oluwamajemu Akinyele has earned a Bachelor of Education in Biology with First Class Honours from Lagos State University (LASU), Nigeria.

Akinyele entered the University not studying the course she initially wanted, a situation that affected her approach to academics and was reflected in her first-semester result in 100 Level.

Reflecting on that period, she said she asked herself if she was not better than the result she had and whether she was not still the same person who had always desired excellence. That moment became a turning point.

From then on, she took her academics more seriously and began researching her course beyond what was taught in class. The more she learned, the more she realised that studying Biology Education did not mean spending her entire career in a classroom.

Today, she is not only graduating with First Class Honours but also building herself beyond the boundaries of her degree, developing skills in data analysis and exploring the diverse possibilities her educational background offers.

Describing her journey, Akinyele said that moment of awakening is something she remains deeply grateful for, noting that the first setback is not always the end of the story but sometimes the moment that makes one look inward and realise one's capability.

She expressed gratitude to God, her parents, lecturers, friends and everyone who formed part of her journey.
