Temitope Ayeobasan, a 21-year-old graduate of History and International Studies from Lagos State University (LASU), has made history as the first-ever student to graduate with First Class honours from the department. This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant milestone in LASU’s history, as it is the first time in 40 years since the university’s establishment in 1984 that such a feat has been accomplished in this particular department.
A particularly inspiring aspect of Temitope’s journey is her initial decision to study Law before ultimately switching to History and International Studies due to “certain circumstances,” as she puts it. Despite the shift in her academic focus, Temitope not only excelled but also developed a deep passion for her new discipline. Reflecting on her success, she attributes it to dedication, passion, and the investment of time in her studies.
This remarkable achievement underscores the power of perseverance and following one’s true interests, no matter the path taken. Temitope’s story serves as an inspiration for students and young professionals everywhere, showing that hard work, passion, and commitment can break barriers.
Well done, Temitope Ayeobasan!
