UNILORIN Graduate Rose Olaewe Achieves First Class Honors

Rose Olaewe graduated with a First Class degree in Finance from the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in October 2026, achieving a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.50 out of 5.00. Her journey began with an admission setback when she failed to upload her O'Level results to the JAMB portal, which cost her a spot at Obafemi Awolowo University.

Encouraged by her father, she applied to UNILORIN and excelled in the Post-UTME, securing admission. Rose aimed to graduate with a First Class and undertook the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) professional examinations during her second year.

Despite facing challenges that affected her CGPA, she remained determined. Alongside her studies, she won the MTN Scholarship in her third year, qualified as an Associate Accounting Technician (AAT), and became a fully qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA) before her convocation.

Throughout her time at UNILORIN, she served as a Student Representative and engaged in volunteer work.
