Abdullahi Alaka, a first-class graduate from the University of Lagos, also praised the program for its transformative nature, stating that it had broadened his knowledge on critical thinking, competence, networking, and more.
Ogunmuyiwa called upon the government to make the university system more attractive to retain first-class graduates. He emphasized the need for adequate funding and technological advancements in Nigerian universities to cultivate an environment conducive to nurturing and retaining the country's best and brightest minds.
"This is what is going to make our economy stand out and be number one. We can get it all right if we can retain the best brains," he said.
In conclusion, the article highlights the importance of making the best use of a first-class degree. It underscores the need for graduates to go beyond their academic achievements and actively seek opportunities to contribute to society and inspire positive change.
