Please is 4.0 the maximum CGPA in polytechnic?

TheVictorious:
A girl, Omoshalewa Adenike Babalola, has made history as the first to graduate with the maximum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.0 at the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH). Omoshalewa, a Science Laboratory graduate, was the cynosure of all eyes at the 24th convocation of the polytechnic last Thursday.

The valedictorian was presented with prizes at the event graced by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Ayangburen of Ikorodu Oba Kabiru Shotobi, Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and former Group Managing Director of Chams Plc Mr Ademola Aladekomo, among others.

The ceremony, held at the school auditorium, started at 10am with the procession of graduands and the principal officers led by the Rector, Dr. Samuel Sogunro.

Ambode was represented by his deputy, Dr. Oluranti Adebule.

Sogunro said Omoshalewa is the first student to graduate with the maximum CGPA. The rector said the school would offer her a job after her National Youth Service.



Ambode urged the graduands to be innovative and practise the entrepreneurial skills acquired from the school. He said: “There is no gainsaying the fact that we are in a challenging time, especially the current unemployment rate. It is time to bring out your innovative and entrepreneurial skills. You must look and explore other options to engage yourselves.”

The school graduated 8,519 students. Of the number, 263 graduated with distinction.

Oba Ogunwusi, Oba Shotobi and Aladekomo were conferred with fellowship awards in recognition of their support for the school.

Omoshalewa, who spoke on behalf of other graduands, hailed the polytechnic staff for their guidance. She described her feat as unbelievable, saying: “I never had it so easy.”

She said group reading and hard work were the secrets of her success.

Yusuf Razak, a graduand, said he was happy to graduate with a set that made history in the school. “This is a great achievement for me. I am happy to be among a set that set a new an academic record in the school,” he said.

ibos are making names in world class universities and my people are jumping up over a local poly champion. This disgrace is getting too much.

Dollyak:
Why did she study in polytechnic in the first place? Really curious. This is not something to celebrate i'm sorry. Relatively speaking, the standards of polytechnics anywhere in the world are appalling.

Your comment is really appalling, she's a lady like u yet. U are beefIng her success, go to your university and come out with your pass as usual while. U watch d polytecnic gradutes over trow u in d field

I LOVE IT WHEN GIRLS COME UP. GO GIRL! WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A GIRL CAN ALSO DO#BETTER. WE NEED EQUALITY.

This is one of the greatest problem with Nigeria. TRIBALISM

You make me laugh. I'll let it pass.

I have read all the comments, some people's comment are filled with hate, jealousy and Iniquity.
Some even bring in tribalism on this issue.
Respect this Lady, reaching a feat like this isn't easy.
Congratulations to her.
But OP, why is this news coming like a week after the convocation was held because, I attend this convocation last week.

A1 parallel.

4.0 is the maximum CGPA that is obtainable from polytechnic..

Pls kom to UI tru D.E. and get d max CGPA (7.0). Then I wil bow. Congrats tho...

Most Nairalanders are what I term "chronic bad-bellers".

Congratulations to the lady. Goes to show that impossible is nothing.

I keep seeing this every time. Come to this come to that; what you should know is that once you're good, you're GOOD. Even if she comes to the UI you talk about(where individuals have also made good grades if not better), I'm sure she'll make it. After making it, another "compare-rer" will tell her to come his/her school(as if those making it there have two heads).

What you're displaying is a defeatist mentality.

darkenkach:
Feminine, who cares?

I do he- goat!

Of course a PhD student from Warwick uni won't know anything about success... Again i'll let it pass. Joke on you. Common sense will dictate she didn't meet the grade required to study in uni. She is merely a local champion.
Even a high first class student from red brick uni do appreciates Oxbridge grades are more challenging. Similar standards holds true for University-Polytechnic.

LesbianBoy:
Olodo plenty for that school o

hater!!!

local champion!!! u need serious prayers....ooni, oye ki o tie soro bi omoluabi die!!!

Congrats. If some people knows what it takes to make 4.? maybe ur contact should be lucky lung to have. Relax God has lifted you Up... keep flying

4.0 hmmmmmm laspotech has joined the trend
Someone dnt see what I'm seeing. First we heard 4.99, 5.0 now a poly just gave out 4.0. Issorai I'm waiting for a college of education then we'll know it's a big time fraud

indeed it is our greatest problem. The same day an ibo girl's success made front page for being a best student in a world class uni. Some bigots pushed this story to fp too. We yorubas should stop this unequal competition with ibos.

falconey:
she is plus size no wonder she could obtain such.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is probably the most idiotic comment i have ever had the displeasure of reading. And trust me, i've read a lot on this forum.

Dollyak:

Similar to an Oxbridge reject boasting of being the best because of first class from a redbrick uni.

Y can't you shut that cunT u called mouth? Atleast for once and stop rediculing your self jealousy de smell

You seem to have run out of brain and composure ? Your disjointed sentence gave you away.

blaQie:
your point?

no point

Yea kinda agree but U never know how many times the lady would have written jamb just to settle for poly!

joey150:
anywhere in the world??


What has this one smoked again?!
Its not weed...this is above weed pls...dont call it weed.

May be d guy is an illiterate.
He thought the world just mearnt his senatorial district.
Some Polytechnics in China are better reckoned with compare to most public/private varsities in Nigeria.

Your IQ is definitely in single digit. Didn't you read the word 'relatively'? No polytechnic compares to a world class uni and within reason.

Modsenemy:
SLT and so? . Show me 4.0 in an environmental department

Don't blame ur failure to make a first class/distinction to ur course of study. People has made first class in environmental sciences in time past. Its all about hardwork

Imperial college, Cambridge, Oxford etc. does not accept Polytechnic graduates. Go figure.
Similarly, a graduate with a 2:2 from Cambridge, Oxford, harvard, Mit is not comparable to a first class graduate from mid tier unis.

Do u have sense at all.
Ugly and brainless idiot
