Bowen University Graduate Okikijesu Obafemi Achieves First-Class

Okikijesu Obafemi, a graduate of Bowen University, has gained attention online after sharing her undergraduate experience on TikTok. She faced significant challenges, including writing the JAMB examination twice, scoring 169 the first time and 219 the second.

Upon gaining admission to Bowen University, she struggled academically, particularly in her first year, due to a lack of foundational knowledge. Rather than resorting to dishonest practices, she made a personal commitment to integrity, which she credits for her eventual success.

In her second year, she switched her major to Public Health. Throughout her studies, she also managed a photography studio and received a contract from the university, marking a highlight of her experience.

Ultimately, she graduated with a CGPA of 4.48, earning first-class honours.
