Twenty-five year-old
Nigerian alumnus of the Wesley Girls High School, Fathia Ayodele Kareem, has
set a record at the School of Medical Sciences of the Kwame Nkrumah University
of Science and Technology, Ghana, breaking its academic record.
Newly sworn-in Nigerian
graduate doctor has made history at the 23rd Kwame Nkrumah University of
Science and Technology (KNUST) School of Medical Sciences and set a new record
as the best graduating student, taking home a dozen out of 15 awards available.
She received 12 out of 15
awards presented during the oath-swearing and induction ceremony for fresh
doctors of the institution last Saturday, and her record became the highest in
the 41-year establishment of the KNUST Medical School.
Kareem who hopes to
specialize in the field of pediatrics/child care, took several turns to receive
the awards in the 55-year-old ivory tower, and when asked if she expected to
get the number of awards, she said,
“Yes and No. Yes because I
worked hard by studying and no because I did not expect to receive so many
awards.”
Of late, many Nigerians
have distinguished themselves in many overseas universities, with some of them
emerging as valedictorians of their schools.
