Mr. Ayodele Daniel Dada, the student who broke the record of being the first to graduate with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 5.0 at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), was rewarded with a total prize money of N1,075,000.00 during the Convocation ceremony held yesterday.
The 29-year-old best graduating student won the institution’s Alumni Association Prize of N500,000, which used to be N100,000 for all best graduating students of the association.
According to the president of the association, Dr. Sunny Kuku, the money was increased this year, as a special reward for Dada, who he said had blazed the trail.
