Afe Babalola University gives best medical student 5.7m car and N500k cash

     

On September 14, 2018, Pulse reports that Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti awarded the best medical student of the 2017/2018 session a brand new car worth NGN5, 700,000 and an additional NGN500, 000 cash.

The winner was Esther Adaobi Azom and she maintained an excellent record from her first year, till graduation.

Last week, Pulse reported how and why the University of Lagos and The National Your Service Corps messed up with application of rules, and named them flop of the week.

This week, it is refreshing that a Nigerian University has actually given instant gratification to a student in a country where students struggle to access scholarships and get what is theirs.

The school has constantly set the bar high, but it this looks another higher bar that most schools will struggle to beat.

It is really heartwarming to see a Nigerian University actually get some positive, in a week where the purported best Nigerian University, Covenant University copped a big L and was dragged through social media gutter by its alumni.
