UNIBEN Best Graduating Student Gifted ₦1 Million by Prof. Chris Imumolen

Okpako Ogheneochuko, the best graduating student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Benin for the 2021/2022 academic session, has been celebrated in a grand way. Known for achieving an outstanding CGPA of 4.80/5.00, Okpako recently sparked conversations online after revealing on social media that he received just ₦5,000 as a prize for his academic excellence.

His statement went viral, drawing attention to the need for better recognition of academic achievements in Nigerian institutions.

During the UNIBEN Alumni Association Award Night held in Lagos, Professor Chris Imumolen, a distinguished alumnus of the University of Benin's Department of Mechanical Engineering, stepped forward to reward Okpako’s remarkable feat with ₦1 million. Prof. Imumolen, known for his unwavering commitment to supporting students in Nigeria and beyond, acknowledged the young scholar’s dedication and excellence.

Prof. Imumolen's generosity extends beyond one-time acts of support. He has announced the establishment of an annual award for the best graduating student in Mechanical Engineering at UNIBEN. This initiative aims to inspire academic excellence and provide a platform for high-performing students to be adequately recognized and rewarded.

This gesture by Prof. Imumolen not only underscores the value of academic excellence but also sets a precedent for fostering a culture of encouragement and reward for outstanding students in Nigeria. It is a call to individuals and organizations to invest in the nation's bright minds, ensuring that merit and hard work receive the recognition they deserve

You're posting how much you got to tell everyone the money is small? That an "injustice" was done to you? When you were granted admission, was it with a signed agreement that you will be given a reward for graduating? Nigerians should do away with this silly entitlement mentality. Education is to equip you with the skills to contribute to society. For us here, it is the needless acquisition of paper certificates for the sole purpose of bragging. That is why there are certificates everywhere, but little skill.
Even when you mention skill, someone will start talking of "certification" for the skill. And will pursue getting that instead of the actual skill.

For the imps quoting me. I don't give two effs about your rants. Education is not a sport.

At least he was recognized and given something!

BBN is being sponsored by funds realized from voting, sponsors, TV rights, brands, etc.

What we should stop doing is promoting vices and encouraging evil e.g. Happy Boys and Mmesoma!

One can easily say that Education is not a Scam

All about priorities. The body language of the country is one which prioritizes things other than education, health, and all other basic aspects of existence.

Instead, elections, party politics, and depravity are the core tenets of why they exist. Others are non-essentials.

Education is not encouraged in this country...
this is why you see many messes going around
Amaka why

$645= N1,000,000
Laptop = Not given

At least this one is better than some we've seen so far, like someone who was awarded with a chicken. If only the price for being a best graduating student can be like that of BB Naija, then the youths won't be shouting "school na scam" since there'll be a huge reward for academic excellence.
