'How to break academy records'

Lagos State University's overall best graduating student of the 2023/2024 academic session, Nwosu Isioma Sybil, has revealed what it takes to break records in any institute.

According to Isioma, who graduated with an outstanding 4.93 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in the Biochemistry department, focus, determination, and learning from others are some of the ingredients of her academic career. 

"You can achieve whatever you put your mind to. It's very open to you achieving anything. Once you have the mindset, trust me, you can achieve anything in this life," she said. 

Adding that, "So you have to be really focused, serious, and determined because a lot of things might weigh you down, especially in your 300-level. If you survive the 300 level, you're good. 

"300 level is really decisive because you are in the middle of your finals. That is why your circle of friends matters a lot. It can either make or mar you because you need to continue having that push till the final."

She advised students to leverage the power of collaboration to build themselves. 

"You can't achieve everything on your own. No matter how brilliant you may be, you might be slacking in some area while your coursemate may be better in that area. So, always be free and be open-minded. Learn how to take corrections, learn how to reach out to people even if you don't like them, and try to humble yourself and learn."
