No Boyfriend, No Distractions, Wesley Varsity’s Best Graduate Shares Success Secret

Ekwutosblog has gathered that A 19-year-old student, Miss Ifeoluwa Adeyemi, has shared how staying focused and avoiding distractions helped her emerge as the best graduate in the 2023/2024 academic session at Wesley University, Ondo State.

Adeyemi, who graduated with a degree in microbiology, achieved a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.97.

Speaking to PUNCH Online after the university’s 13th convocation ceremony on Saturday, Adeyemi explained that having a boyfriend during her undergraduate studies would have distracted her.

She said, “Well, I had discussed this with several people, and they told me that it depends on your perspective. But for me, I see it as a distraction because I cannot divide my attention. A boyfriend might demand my time, and I wouldn’t be able to put my full effort into my studies.”

She also mentioned that her core motivation throughout her academic journey was the desire to make her parents proud.

“First, I have parents I cannot disappoint. That was always on my mind. Whenever I felt distracted, I reminded myself that my parents were out there, and I needed to make them proud,” she said.

Additionally, Adeyemi’s goal of making a positive impact in the health sector drove her to dedicate herself to microbiology, a field that studies microorganisms related to diseases and health.

“I needed to focus on my course. Microbiology is one of the areas that deals with health, and I knew I had to put more effort into understanding it,” she said.

Adeyemi also revealed her ambition to further her education by pursuing a Master’s degree and a PhD in the future.

“The next step is to further my education — a Master’s and then a Ph.D. I want to become a researcher,” she said.

In his address, the Vice Chancellor of Wesley University, Professor Sunday Obeka, highlighted the institution’s commitment to holistic education rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. He encouraged the graduates to uphold the values of excellence, integrity, and service in their future endeavours.
