The two female student who graduated with
grade points of 5.0, from the University Of
Lagos, Miss Taiwo Bankole, 22 and Miss
Oyindamola Omotuyi 21, has confirmed that
truly, what a man can do, a woman can do even
better.
Omotuyi who hails from Ondo state studied
System Engineering while Bankole from Lagos
state studied Cell Biology and Genetics.
It was learnt that both were members of
Redeemed Campus Fellowship (RCF)
In an interview with newsmen, the two girls
revealed the secret behind their success.
According to Omotuyi, she got the inspiration to
read from her father who she said reads all
night.
She went ahead to disclose that she initially
was not a brilliant student. But got the
determination to work hard after so many
failures.
On the social front, Omotuyi mentioned she
never had a boyfriend as she understood that
there is time for everything and spend most of
her time with female friends and fellowship
members and sometimes watch movies.
She said that she is currently waiting for her
NYSC but if God permits, she will go for her
master. She encourages students desiring her
kind of achievement to go for it stating that
anyone can achieve it.
On her own part, Taiwo Bankole admitted that
she didn't find it rosy as she failed UTME the
first time and had to go for a diploma
programme which later gained her admission
into UNILAG.
According to her, she never knew that she
could graduate with a first class but midway,
she noticed that her GPA was sound enough
and that was when she started aspiring to finish
with a first class.
And she took the step by reading for 6 hours
everyday.
Just like Omutoyi, Bankole also said she never
had a boyfriend but mingled with female pals
and casual male friends and also watch movies
at times.
According to her, she would like to go for
Masters in Genetics. She further advised
students to work hard and never lose focus.
