After an Alumnus of
LASU, Romola Adeola Earlier this year, became the youngest Ph.D holder in the
107year history of Centre of Human Rights, University of Pretoria, South Africa
at the age of 26 years, another Nigerian, Iheanatu-Geoffrey has emerged as the
best finance student at the Oxford University
"Success is no
guess work, it's the product of practical engagement and test of principles. It
represents the wise choice of many alternatives. This has led me to
consistently defy my young age and challenge myself academically and
intellectually to achieve record-breaking feats. To me, excellence belongs to
those who strive to attain it and who are not afraid to compete at the highest
levels against the very best in the world".
This was an excerpt of
an e-mail written by Iheanatu-Geoffrey, a quintessential graduate of Law of
Lagos State University to proudly announce his latest international award to
the Vice Chancellor, Professor 'Lanre Fagbohun.
The award is the
prestigious Oxford University Allen and Overy Best Student Prize in Corporate
Finance Law for year 2016, "an award given to the overall best student
(from amongst the Master in Law and Finance [MLF] and Magister Juries [MJUR]
candidates), with most outstanding performance in the Corporate Finance Law,
Examination at the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
Breakthru Nigeria: Telling our success story.
Geoffrey's award is by
no means an easy feat. Apart from the fact that it was earned at one of the
oldest and most prestigious Universities in the world, where academic standard
is at its peak, Oxford University, it was achieved after a feisty intellectual
competition among Fourty-Four (44) First Class brains from Thirty-Three(33)
counties of the World.
The achievement has
once again accentuated the world-class quality of teaching and research of the
Lagos State University, and cemented the place of her graduates as some of the
best in the world, an assertion succinctly put by Chinedu Geoffrey himself,
thus: "I am very proud of my alma mater, Lagos State University especially
LASULAWS, for equipping me with the requisite tools I needed for this global
achievement. I strongly believe that the academic rigours in LASU adequately laid
the foundation for the demanding intellectual program at the University of
Oxford, culminating in this great success".
