UNILORIN Graduate Becomes First Sociology Student in Five Years to Earn First-Class Honours

Aminat Moody has recorded an impressive academic achievement after graduating with First-Class Honours in Sociology from the University of Ilorin in October 2026.

She also emerged as the best graduating student in her department for the 2026 set. According to her LinkedIn post, only four students in the department's history have achieved this distinction.

Aminat disclosed that her CGPA fluctuated during her undergraduate studies, leaving her uncertain at times about whether she would reach her goal.

Despite the challenges, she remained determined and eventually achieved the result she had worked towards.

Outside the classroom, she served as a class representative, tutored fellow students and developed her writing and leadership skills.

She now hopes to pursue a career in medical sociology, public health and research into health inequalities, and is seeking postgraduate scholarships and research opportunities.

Her story is a reminder that academic setbacks do not have to define the outcome.
