24 YEAR OLD BAGS PhD AT UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS.

“The saying that if you can conceive it and believe it, you will definitely achieve it” was brought to the fore as a young and intelligent scholar Olaoluwa Oluwadara bagged a Doctorate degree at the just concluded convocation ceremony of the University of Lagos. He was just 24.
Olaoluwa received his PhD in mathematics and was the best graduating postgraduate student with a CGPA of 5.0. With this record, Dr. Olaoluwa is now arguably Africa’s youngest PhD holder, beating other previous young scholars like 26 year old Olabisi Adeyemi, who received her PhD in the same University of Lagos and 25 year old Opeyemi Shodipe, from Babcock University.
Dr. Olaoluwa has held an impressive record of academic achievement through his education, he has been a top student since his elementary education, till he entered the Universite de Bangui in Central African Republic, where he graduated with a Cummulative
Gross Point Average (CGPA) of 5.0 in mathematics for his first degree. He received his Masters degree in Physics from the same university with an impressive record. He came to the university of Lagos in 2010 for his PhD studies under sponsorship by the G.S of the Deeper Life Christian Ministry. Postgraduate Nigeria says a hearty  congrats to our young ‘DOC’
