Fatima Sulaimon, a 22 year old first class graduate of the University of
Ilorin, Kwara State, has just proven that not staying off boys while in school
doesn’t prevent one from attaining good grades.
Usually, most First Class Female graduates claim their academic success is
staying off boys and not dating in the university, however Fatima Sulaiman, a
first class degree holder of Anatomy says otherwise.
With a Cumulative Grade Average Point of 4.80, Sulaiman emerged as one of
the 48 first class graduates this year.
In an interview with Punch, she claimed the secret of her success is her
boyfriend.
“He encouraged, inspired and assisted me to excel in my studies.” “He
encouraged me. At times, even if I woke up in the night and I felt dizzy, I
would just put a call across to him and after discussing with him, I would feel
okay. He was more of a friend. He encouraged, inspired and assisted me. I thank
God for the feat I recorded. I am happy and fulfilled because to make a first
class is not an easy feat. I did not really have social life. I am not the type
that goes out. I like playing games. I sleep reasonably. I read most of the
times if I am not in class. I read at least six hours daily outside lectures
and other academic engagements.
“Undergraduates should be prayerful in life. They should abide by the rules
and regulations of any institution they are. If they obey school regulations,
they will not become victims.”
