Ahead of its combined 29th and 30th convocation ceremonies, Lagos State University (LASU) has named Adebanjo Oluolamide of the Department of Aerospace Engineering as its standout scholar, emerging overall best graduating student for the 2025/2026 academic session with an outstanding CGPA of 4.97.
Tripod Times reports that Oluolamide, an Ogun State indigene, who enjoyed an undergraduate scholarship from Dr Biodun Collins Ogundipe (BCO) Foundation was announced by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, during a press conference on Wednesday, notifying that the university will graduate more than 20,000 students across the two sessions, including 494 first-class graduates.
The VC also named Ayilara Olawale of the Department of Project Management Technology as the overall best graduating student for the 2024/2025 academic session with a CGPA of 4.96, graduating with First Class Honours.
On his part, Oluolamide dedicated his achievement to God.
However, before graduation, the Aerospace Engineering graduate said he was engaged in different extracurricular activities, including research and academic publication.
While celebrating his latest accolade on X, he wrote, “4.97 / 5.00 CGPA. First Class Honours in Aerospace Engineering at Lagos State University. Official Senate Approval.
“All glory to God for His grace, wisdom, and strength every step of the way. What God cannot do does not exist!”
Listing other academic achievements from his undergraduate years, Oluolamide appreciated Dr. Biodun Collins Ogundipe (BCO), a Governorship Candidate in Ogun State for the undergraduate scholarship awarded him by his Foundation.
On August 9, he disclosed that he had been named Scholar of the Year at the AESA-LASU Dinner, describing it as his second such award during his undergraduate studies.
“June 24: Officially signed out of Aerospace Engineering. June 25: Awarded Scholar of the Year at the AESA-LASU Dinner!
“Winning my 2nd Scholar of the Year title during my undergrad is the best way to close a chapter. Late nights, heavy research, and relentless focus paid off,” he wrote.
He also revealed in July that two of his research papers had been accepted for presentation at the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ NAICE 2026 conference in Lagos.
He appealed for financial assistance to attend the conference, saying ₦200,000 was needed to support his research presentation.
