Months of Sleepless Nights Earned Me First Class – LASU 2025 Best Graduate

Lawal Ayilara, a graduate of Project Management Technology at Lagos State University, LASU, has narrated how months of sleepless nights, discipline and consistency earned him a First Class Honours degree with a 4.97 CGPA, making him one of the best graduating students of the 2025 set.

Ayilara said his journey was not without challenges, noting that excelling in a demanding course like Project Management Technology required sacrifices, long hours of reading, and unwavering focus.

According to him, his success was built on a deliberate reading pattern, early preparation for examinations, and a determination to understand concepts rather than merely memorise them. He added that there were moments he doubted himself, but he remained consistent and leaned on support from family, lecturers and colleagues.

He described the achievement as a product of hard work, faith and resilience, urging current students to set clear goals, stay disciplined and never give up on their aspirations, regardless of the difficulties they face.

Ayilara's feat has been widely celebrated as an inspiration to LASU students and young Nigerians striving for academic excellence.
