A Nigerian, Muftahu Jibrin Salihu from Goronyo local
government in Sokoto State has emerged as the first African
to graduate with a first class in ‘’ Master of Educational
Leadership and Management, ‘’ at the University of Southern Queensland , Australia, but based in Malaysia .
Accordingly, Salihu’s academic excellence fetched him two
separate offers from different Universities.
However, he had been offered an automatic admission and
scholarship by the university to undergo his three -year Ph.D Degree between 2012 and 2015.
In a congratulatory letter signed by the institution’s Senior
Media Coordinator, Jim Campbell, said, “Firstly I can say a
big congratulation on your upcoming – You should be very
proud of this achievement. ''Besides bagging a first class degree, you are the only African student in the upcoming graduation, above all, the only Nigerian student who graduated from the University since its inception in 1971.’’ Similarly, the 26-year old Salihu will serve the university for ten years upon graduation in 2025.
The Nation gathered that he had turned down the offer
because of his love for Nigeria.

I hope he doesn't regret his decision of rejecting the offer in few years to come.
