The proverb that “What a man can do, a lady can improve” was shown and communicated last week, as Francisca Adora Eze, a graduating understudy of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, stood tall among the female people as the best graduating female understudy.
With a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.82 points, Eze, a graduate of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension Services, won the title of Overall Best Female Graduating Student.
Eze, who narrated how she prioritized her studies over all other school activities, responded to her academic prowess by saying:
Although I have always prioritized my academic pursuits, I have always participated in numerous extracurricular activities.
When I get a B grade on my exams, I always get angry. During the excursion, I have used to performs various tasks, yet I will give all credit to God for the effortlessness.
There is actually a lot, but I will say that my 400-level exam was the most difficult for me emotionally, financially, and in terms of my health.
The 400-Level is our farm year, when we go to the farm as early as 6:30 a.m. to sell and market our harvest and do practical agriculture like cultivating and brooding chicks.
Following ranch viable we frequently return for addresses so drained, baffled and hungry.
In addition, the handouts for that year are typically quite extensive, and we only have a week to write our exams for both semesters.
At EKSU, the Personnel of Farming composes the two semesters assessments in 400-Level prior to going for Modern Preparation (IT) in contrast to different divisions and resources that main do one semester before IT.
That year was so drawn-out, however I ultimately had a CGPA of 5 places in the two semesters.” Eze went on to describe how she overcame lecturers’ threats and intimidation, saying:
“I sat for a course and scored 85%, yet the entrance was not steady and I neglected to screen capture my outcomes and save it on my mail.
For two semesters, I trusted it would be figured out however it was not.
This was even a general issue, so I had to complain to the professor, who demanded evidence to help NUC teams evaluate UNILAG’s new courses; Branch of Political Theory, Staff of Sociologies; Department of Law; Institute of African and Diaspora Studies (IADS) and Faculty of Pharmacy
At the conclusion of the assessment, the teams that looked at the curriculum, admission requirements, available facilities, and library stock among other things gave feedback on the available facilities, such as lecture halls, office spaces, labs and equipment, curriculum, course work progression, and admission requirements, and made recommendations while interacting with the university’s management and faculty.
The NUC research teams were thanked by Prof. Ayodele Atsenuwa, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor in Charge of Development Services, who had received the teams earlier on behalf of Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, the Vice-Chancellor.
She, on the other hand, said that the suggestions could be implemented, and she said that the university would keep trying to fix mistakes and ambiguities. Cleric lifts poor students to determine whether I actually passed the class.
Because I did not save it, I had no evidence to support free education in Imo. She added,
“However, the lecturer said that I would never be in the exam room and that I was a truant. I was stunned in light of the fact that why such charges.
I demanded my script because I was so furious. However, as his rage grew, he began disparaging me in various ways.
That day, the lecturer advised me to rewrite the course, prompting my profuse weeping and my departure.
Luckily, for my purposes, my Level Facilitator is the person who acknowledges understudies’ grumblings.
“I went to him and let him know all that occurred. He went to the lecturer’s office and asked for my script. He saw that I wasn’t lying about getting an A in that course.
The teacher that had before denounced me begun lauding me and offering a few expressions in Yoruba, similar to I realized she is an extremely splendid understudy; she is great. Can you even fathom that?
After the upload, I left his office and thanked you, sir. Eze, who suggested the way that she didn’t see herself graduating with a Five star, yet accepted that focusing on her examinations was vital to her prosperity, in any case, noticed that she didn’t permit her connection transport nearby in any capacity to influence her examinations too.
“I had no intention of becoming the best female student at the university or the best student in my department. Even though I believed in myself, I never considered these titles during my studies.
“In fact, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I entered the university with a secondary school relationship. It lasted almost four years, but a lot happened during that time, and the relationship ended.
I’m currently back in a relationship. We have continue on. Anyway, I make time to prioritize my studies, and my relationships have never made my studies less important.
In her recommendation to different understudies, Eze, who encouraged students not to focus on friendly exercises over their examinations, expressed: ” I would not, but only if you would continue your academic work and social activities.
“I really made companions yet they were not many. Despite the fact that I know a lot of people, I do have friends.
My friends and foes are not the same for everyone I know. The term “friend” is not one I take lightly. I connect with people who share my values.
“Let me add that 80% of my friends are very good academically, which inspires me. In my friend network, I have three of them who are likewise five star materials. We encourage ourselves in every possible way.
When they receive low grades, I am sad, and when I receive low grades, they are also sad. I need to encourage them to admirably pick their companions.
Honestly, having bad friends can hurt your success. Always define who you are friends with; not everyone should be.
Failure cannot be justified. Do not believe that coming from a financially unstable family will guarantee success. My dear, if you despise being poor, ensure that you achieve academic excellence.
Nothing is out of the question. There are no two heads, even among the wealthy. It is never an option to give up.
Check your own responses as well: are they accurate? Is your composing adequately noticeable? Do you read to pass or to learn everything you can about your job? These are questions you really want to check and view.” In the mean time, Eze ascribed her outcome in college to her family, saying:
“From the beginning, my family has always been so supportive, and success was definitely made possible with their love and support,”
