All eyes were on 23-year-old Sadiq Olayinka Olamide, who emerged the best graduating student at the Convocation ceremony of the University of Ibadan (UI), held last month.

Sadiq, who graduated with First Class honours in Veterinary Medicine, received a total of 31 awards, ranging from overall Faculty and Department best to best in 28 other subject areas.

In an interview, the Iragbiji, Osun State-born scholar said that getting to this level was not by accident, as he had been coming tops in most exams from primary school up to the university.

He continued; "And when I gained admission into this university six years ago and got my bearing right as an undergraduate, I never looked back. I gave my studies deserved attention"

"I must also say that I didn’t entertain any form of distractions not even from friends or the opposite sex. I did not attend social functions anyhow and I did not also have any girlfriend or what you may refer to as a lover because I knew having one would come with distraction here and there. So, I married my book by concentrating on my studies and I thank God for crowning my effort with success", he said.

Sadiq, who also acknowledged the strong support and cooperation of his parents and family members towards his studies and other needs, however argued that it was like 24 hours of the day were not enough for students studying veterinary medicine particularly in UI because of the enormous work that the course required.

It will be recalled that the University of Ibadan graduated 2,362 students during the convocation ceremony with 53 of them bagging First Class degrees.
