Afolabi, Oluseyi Afolayan of the department of Food Science and Technology obtained a perfect CGPA: 5.00/5.00 (100%- Distinction) at Master's Level (Master of Technology- 2016) at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA). I guess, this will be the first of it kind at Postgraduate level in Nigeria. Excellence should be encouraged and celebrated.
The department of Food Science and Technology, FUTA can be contacted to verify this commendable achievement.

It may NOT be the first of its kind in Nigeria. The reason is this-the grading system difffers from one university to another. But having distinctions(70 and above) all through, at Masters level, is not uncommon.

For instance, before now, UI used 'percentage' to grade and not CGPA and there were those who graduated with distinctions in all their courses...As such, if the grading system was that of CGPA,as long as the person had atleast 70%, then it would be 5 points for such a person too...

The only thing that would make the FUTA graduate unique is if he had 100% in all the courses he offered...and I doubt it!

Are you serious?

It may NOT be the first of its kind in Nigeria. The reason is this-the grading system difffers from one university to another. If the person in question got 100% in all his courses then I think that would be unprecedented. But having distinctions all through at Masters level is not uncommon. For instance, before now, UI used 'percentage' to grade and not CGPA and there were those who graduated with distinctions in all their courses...As such, if the grading system was that of CGPA, then it would be 5 points for such a person too...

True talk!
Kudos to the scholar for graduating with a CGPA of 5.0!
However, having a cumulative percentage of 100% in all the courses he offered (including his MSc project) is arguably impossible (we ain't talking about objective exams here). Assessments of courses offered in MSc programs are not only based on written exams but also on submission of numerous assignments, writing of term papers, fieldworks/researches, presentations, among others. I doubt if a student, after the whole assessment process, could score 100% in a course not to talk of all the courses he/she offered.
CGPA of 5.0 is very possible but not a cumulative percentage of 100%.

Good news

Wow! Some just got the brain... Congrats to him tho...

Congratulations. More success

Congratulations.
