Miss Nwokolo Chinaza has emerged as the Best Graduating Student (BGS) of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), with a 4.51 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

The immediate past head of the department, Associate Prof. Uche Ogbuke, confirmed in a phone call with ESUT Monitor that Miss Nwokolo emerged as the overall best graduating student for the 2024/2025 academic session with a 4.51 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

Also, during an online interview with our reporter, Miss Chinaza stated that emerging as the overall best graduating student in her department, and possibly in the faculty as well, is a dream come true. She emphasized that when she first gained admission into ESUT, she aimed at graduating with a first class.

“I think in my Year 1, there was a Pharmacy student I was looking up to, King David. He was the overall best graduating student in Pharmacy. I didn’t know about the overall best graduating student of the school and then the set before mine, a friend of mine, Ezenwa Ikenna who also graduated with first class and over all best graduating student in the University from English and Literary studies Department,” she said.

“That was when I said, ‘No, I must get this,’” she added, coupled with the fact that she sees a career in lecturing. So, she started working towards achieving her goal and dream from 100 level.

“My 100 level result was good, but in 200 level I had several distractions which reduced my CGPA. And what worsened this factor was over happiness with my 100 level results.” She further stated that the 200 level results drew her back, so she embarked on burning more midnight candles and buckled hard.

Miss Chinaza Nwokolo

Miss Chinaza appreciates some of her lecturers who supported her during her university days. A few to mention are Dr. Nwonovo and Dr. Stella. They would always look forward to knowing when she was in the class. This built her confidence and charged her to do more. She stressed that what encouraged her more were her mentors.

“I had people that always encouraged me, especially in my 300 level, where I was having double mind on whether I could still graduate with my dream grade, considering how bad my 200 level results were.”

“My Year 3 results came out and they were perfect again. I was like, ‘Oh, okay. Achievable.’ Then I’d say my highlight of the entire journey in school was my four hunderd level.”

She reveals how difficult it was for her to manage academics, work, and social life and still come out as a first class product.

“I had to put my entire life together. I had to manage doing business, surviving as a student, living as a human, interacting with my society, and all that.”

“So, it was really overwhelming but I don’t know how I did it. I believe that God is the pioneer of my journey so far.”

“My 400 level results were the highlight of my entire school, and it was what boosted my grade. I hit 5.0, like the normal proper first class I have been chasing. That should be what even boosted the whole thing. If there were mistakes, I would have been a normal 2:1 student,” she said.

“It’s just God, let me put it that way, and I’m grateful to God and my team. Of course, it’s a dream come true, and it’s also a medium to encourage people to just keep pushing, no matter what. No matter what, there’s no way you can’t pick up. No matter what the result is, you can always pick up, you can always do better.”

“And then, the gift of men too. Don’t try to isolate or look down on anyone because collaboration and teamwork help achieve a common goal. People will help you, and whenever you are called to do something, try to do that thing and do it well,” she said.

Miss Marycynthia Onah has shattered records at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), emerging as the Best Graduating Student in the Department of Medical Laboratory Science with an extraordinary Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.86 for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The academic milestone was officially celebrated during the department’s induction and professional oath-taking ceremony in July, where she was formally licensed by the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN).

The induction, which marked the transition of 93 graduates into licensed medical laboratory professionals, became an arena of celebration for Miss Onah. Her exceptional feat drew massive applause from university administrators, senior academics, and proud regulatory officials.

Dignitaries at the event praised her relentless diligence, highlighting that maintaining a 4.86 CGPA in a rigorous, high-stakes medical discipline is a masterclass in resilience and absolute dedication.

Hon. Okey Mbah, member representing Nkanu East Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly, awarded Miss Onah N200,000 for her stellar academic performance and lauded ESUT for fostering academic excellence.

Meanwhile ESUT has fixed Saturday, November 21 as the Convocation date for the 2024/2025 graduates of the university where Miss Onah and her sets will be officially pronounced graduate by the university.

Newly inducted graduate nurses of the Department of Nursing Science, Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), have been charged to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and integrity as they begin their careers in the nursing profession.

The charge was given by the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN), Dr. Ndagi Alhassan, during the third induction ceremony for 78 graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing Science programme held at ESUT, Enugu, on Thursday, July 23, 2026.

The Registrar who was represented at the ceremony by a Director of Nursing Services, Dr. Joy Oko, urged the inductees to remain worthy ambassadors of the nursing profession, their university and Nigeria by adhering strictly to professional ethics and maintaining a patient-centred approach to healthcare delivery.

The Inductees

He reminded the graduates that the oath of allegiance administered during the induction officially admitted them into the nursing profession as Registered Nurses (RNs), empowering them to practise anywhere in the world after completing their internship programme.

According to him, nurses are entrusted with the responsibility of protecting human life and must therefore strive for excellence, lifelong learning, evidence-based practice and continuous professional development to remain relevant in the ever-evolving healthcare sector.

The Registrar also encouraged the newly inducted nurses to embrace research, keep pace with technological advancements in healthcare and prioritize their physical, mental and emotional well-being to enable them deliver quality healthcare services.

He cautioned them against the misuse of social media, urging them to maintain professional boundaries online and use digital platforms responsibly to protect the image and reputation of the nursing profession.

Dr. Alhassan further called on the graduates to actively participate in research through the Council’s African Research Journal and to join the global “Nursing Now Nigeria” campaign aimed at promoting the status of nurses. He noted that following their induction, they would receive temporary licences, induction certificates, logbooks and checklists to commence their internship.

Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of ESUT, Professor Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Chike Nwoha, congratulated the graduates for their academic achievement and urged them to remain worthy ambassadors of the university.

He said the university had invested significantly in their academic and professional development through quality teaching and research, warning them to avoid actions capable of tarnishing the institution’s reputation.

Professor Okolie highlighted the university’s commitment to strengthening medical and allied health education, noting that programmes such as Optometry, Physiotherapy, Medical Radiography, Nutrition and Dietetics, and Public Health had received full approval from the National Universities Commission and had commenced academic activities.

Quoting nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale, he encouraged the graduates to embrace lifelong learning while upholding the values of excellence, compassion and integrity throughout their careers.

The Vice-Chancellor also expressed appreciation to the lecturers, parents and guardians for their support, while commending the Enugu State Government and Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for providing teaching support and critical equipment to the Department of Nursing Sciences and other programmes in the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the occasion, Professor Christian Ngwu, while congratulating the inductees,  urged them to be tolerant   with patients at the course of their career practice.

Prof Ngwu, who is the Chairman of Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission, ENSIEC, equally urged the inductees to be compassionate with their duties in order to excel in the Nursing profession.

In her Keynote presentation, titled ‘Carrying the Torch, Shaping the Future Care, Dr. Chidinma Israel, stated that Nurses are the highest contributors in the global health space, and urged the inductees to develop critical thinking abilities.

She stated that Nurses excel when they embody the characteristics of dedication, sacrifice and excellent service delivery.

The best-graduating student, Udebuchi Jacinta, thanked the University Management, their lecturers, parents and well-wishers for their support and quality teaching.

I feel so proud that upon all the people in the National Assembly from Enugu State, he is the only person that has done much more than anybody for our university. I am encouraging other lawmakers from our state to equally emulate him so that we can collectively develop our university,’ the VC said.

Ahead of the 21st Convocation Ceremony of ESUT slated to hold on Saturday, November 22, 2025, ESUT Monitor has today commenced the publication of the Best Graduating Students from Faculties.

Our first publication is from the Faculty of Physical Sciences where Juliet Omeche emerged the Best Graduating Student for the 2023/2024 academic year

Miss Omeche in this exclusive interview detailed her academic journey in the Department of Geology and Mining at ESUT, How she became the second First-Class graduate of the department since inception and the challenges within.

Excerpts

First and foremost, tell us your full name?

My name is Juliet Omeche. I’m from Udi Local Government Area in Enugu State.

You graduated from ESUT?

I graduated from the Department of Geology and Mining, from the Faculty of Physical Sciences, in the year 2024.

Juliet Omeche after her project defence in 2024

Why Geology and Mining?

To be honest, I applied for Medicine and Surgery. I’ve always wanted to read Medicine and Surgery. But admission was not forthcoming. I applied two times, I didn’t get Medicine and Surgery.

 So, I remember in my secondary school, I always said, if I don’t get into the medical sector, then I would also want to try the Oil and Gas industry. But Geology came trhough because, at that time, I didn’t write Mathematics in my JAMB, so I could not apply for engineering courses. And it was easier to get into Geology at the time, I applied and got the admission.

After your four-year programme, you come out as the best graduating student from your faculty. Did you plan for it?

Yes, I did. Getting into Geology and Mining in Year 1, during the orientation, the lecturers and professors mentioned that they do not or they don’t usually have First Class graduates from the department.

Since the inception of Geology, it’s was only one person who had First Class.

It was more of a challenge to me, I wanted to break that jinx so they don’t say that to the next orientation set or batch and

 I did, worked towards it, planned for it and I got it.

How did you go about your academic activities?

I wouldn’t say I am a bookworm type of person because, all through my days in the university, I never attended a night class.

My strategy was I always to attend all my classes. I never missed a class.

That way, I get to hear directly from the lecturer and get to understand what each course is about. Then after every lecture, I go back home and read to understand. The next step I do is to, tutor my coursemates, because they normally come to me for assistance and to teach them. Doing that, I get mastered to the courses and everything about them.

It was easier for me to pass my exams that way and to excel in the courses. The target was never to get a ‘B’ in my results. It was ‘A’ ahead.

 Anytime I get a ‘B’, I would go back to the lecturer to understand why I couldn’t get that particular question or why I couldn’t understand that course. After their explanations, I would go back to read to understand better. That was my strategy. I attend classes, I read to understand after every lecture, and I also tutor my other coursemates.

Also, my reading schedule was from evening till dusk. I read from 7:00pm to 12:00 Midnight.

I also prioritize my sleep as much as I prioritize my reading schedule, my my academic life. There was always a balance, I tried to balance between the two, so that one does not suffer.

In other words, you considered ‘B’ grade as a failure?

Omeche is currently undergoing her mandatory national service in Lagos

I don’t consider ‘B’ as a failure. But, to me, I have always wanted to be an ‘A’ student. Anything short of ‘A’ to me is a failure, but in general terms, I don’t consider ‘B’ a failure.

How was it like navigating the school for the four years you were in Geology and Mining?

It was quite easy. I made a lot of friends that walk around. Like I said, I wasn’t the bookworm type of a person that’s always inside reading. I moved around, I had social life. It was quite easy to navigate around ESUT, from park to, as far as the EDC complex, I was able to get there. In fact, I don’t think there is any corner of ESUT that I didn’t go past. It was really easy.

Would you Consider teaching as a career if offered?

For now, I want to actually pursue a career in the Oil and Gas industry.

And if tutoring in ESUT or maybe lecturing in any other higher institution comes, it can be a side thing, I don’t mind.

Where is Juliet Omeche currently?

I’m in Lagos, working in an oil and gas drilling firm as a Business Development Executive.

Still undergoing my National Youth Service Corps one year programme. I will be through in December

Your initial plan was to be a medical person.

Yeah, to become a medical doctor,

Now you’ve become a Geologist.

Yes.

Do your regret not being a medical doctor

I don’t regret it. I feel I’m in a better space right now.

Where will Omeje Juliet be in the next five years?

In the next five years, I see myself as a Geoscientist in one of the IOCs, that’s the International Oil Companies. I am also working towards that by taking courses in seismic interpretation and reservoir modelling. That way, I can streamline my career path into becoming a Geoscientist in the IOCs.

Which of the lecturers in your department would you miss very much? And why?

I would miss Dr. Chineye Onyeabor. Because she was more of a mentor to me. Even though she can be a handful I mean, when she wants something, she must get it. If she fixes lectures, you must be there on time. 

Most of my coursemates didn’t really like that. It really didn’t sit well with them. But I think it was more of a training. Through Dr. Onyeabor I got to understand LinkedIn and how it works. And that was towards my graduation. Because of her, I was able to explore LinkedIn. And that was how I got a job even before the end of my service year. So I’ll say I’d miss her a lot.

What did you do in LinkedIn that was able to offer you that opportunity?

I think it was my profile optimization. I positioned myself well through my profile. So the recruiters reached out to me by merely looking at my profile, and they put me up for recruitment exercise and interviews, aptitude test, and I was able to scale through.

Omeche, the Geologist

What is your advice to students who aspire to attain your feat?

My advice to these people is one, believe in yourself. Because for me, I believed in myself that I could break that jinx. I went ahead, lecturers said there’d been no First-Class, just one, in Geology and Mining. I thought about it, and I believed that I could do it.

Secondly. I would advise that they be consistent in whatever they’re doing. There is no particular strategy to making First-Class. I would not say this is a particular way you should study or not. If you find yourself studying in whatever way you feel it’s right for you, be consistent because consistency pays at the end of the time.

Then, another advice I’ll give to them is to practice effective time management, because it helps. You don’t delay one or make one suffer. Practice effective time management, create a study schedule. And then, you make sure to rest.

Find time to network with people, have a social life. In as much as you want to be the best graduating student or a first-class graduate, have social life because it would help. And have your rest time, your sleep time, and bedtime. Make sure to rest, prioritize your rest and your study. I would also advise that they seek help when needed. If you don’t understand a particular course, or topic in a course, seek help from maybe a coursemates or the lecturer.

What is Juliet Omeche’s hobby?

My hobby is traveling. I love to travel. I like exposure, so I will select more of places I’ve not been to before. I also love to research. Right now, I have a journal.

You know, it was my project that I researched on and my lecturers and external supervisor found it interesting, and then they asked that I publish it.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has awarded a cash gift of N10 million to Isioma Sybil Nwosu, the best graduating student of Lagos State University for the 2023/2024 academic session.

Nwosu, a graduate of Biochemistry from the Faculty of Science, finished with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.93.

The Governor announced the gift on Thursday during LASU’s 28th Convocation Ceremony held at the Buba Marwa Auditorium, Ojo.

The convocation ceremony also saw the conferment of Honorary Doctorate Degrees and Distinguished Professorships on notable individuals, including the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brigadier-General Mohammed Buba Marwa (retd.), and former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Otunba Olufemi Pedro.

Marwa, who once served as military administrator of Lagos State, was honoured with a Doctor of Humane Letters (Infrastructure, Security and National Development) Honoris Causa.

Pedro received a Doctor of Business (Banking, Entrepreneurship and National Development) Honoris Causa.

Represented by his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Sanwo-Olu emphasised the importance of education to societal development.

“Education is the backbone of our society, and we must recognise its importance in addressing societal needs and human development,” he said.

He stressed that academic excellence should be held in the same regard as achievements in entertainment, fashion, or sports.

“It’s our responsibility to foster a culture that hungers for knowledge and innovation,” the Governor said.

Sanwo-Olu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to empowering students in state-owned tertiary institutions through strategic investments and infrastructure development.

“We are committed to providing more significant financial investment towards expanding infrastructure within and around, ensuring the safety and welfare of the staff and students of the University,” he said.

The Governor also pointed to the themes and agenda, noting that education is a key priority for his government. He highlighted programmes such as the Job Initiative Lagos, which is designed to enhance the employability of final-year students.

“These efforts demonstrate our commitment to improving the welfare of staff and students of this University, providing opportunities for educational advancement to indigenes and residents of our dear Lagos State,” he added.

Vice-Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, commended the state government for its continuous support, describing it as “truly exceptional.”

She disclosed that 43 out of the 44 courses offered by the university were accredited during the October–November 2023 accreditation exercise.

She also noted that the Africa Centre of Excellence for Innovative and Transformative STEM Education had commenced new postgraduate programmes, which for the first time included international students.

In his address, the Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Gbolahan Elias (SAN), encouraged the graduating students to be good ambassadors of the university.

…Also the Faculty of Engineering BGS

By Amaechi Agbo

In our Day 3 of unveiling of Best Graduating Student (BGS) in ESUT, today we present the BGS of Department Mechanical and Production Engineering, MPE, Engr Okoli Ebuka Francis.

A native of Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Engr Okolie emerged not just the BGS in MPE but also the Overall Best Graduating Student in the Faculty of Engineering with FCGPA of 4.61.

Engr Okoli’s quest to become a mechanical Engineer was nurtured early enough due to the fact that his father was a renowned business merchant in machine spare parts in Nnewi

It was not surprising that he desired to become a Mechanical Engineer and he did that with absolute hardwork and commitment, setting standards for his mates and peers.

As the 2022/2023 Best Graduating Student both in his department and faculty, Engr Okoli told ESUT Monitor that the journey was very challenging so much that at a point he contemplated quitting.

Currently serving his father’s land in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Lagos, Engr Okoli said that emerging the BGS of his department and faculty is a standard he has set for himself and siblings, being the first child in the family.

“I will say my student years experience for sure that my five years in ESUT was definitely worth it. From the beautiful friends I made to the lectures I attended, the difficult period where I felt like giving up. But I just have to keep pushing through prayer and advice of my friend. Every of these moments were worth it. I really do thank God always.

“The feat really means a lot to me. Considering that I am the first child , I have set a good standard for my siblings. Now, to myself, I really did made myself and family proud. I thank God for this moment.,” he said.

Recently, as the BGS of Faculty of Engineering, Engr Okoli represented the University at the 2024 Engineering CODET ABUJA as best graduate from faculty of Engineering ESUT

Perhaps wishing to be the Aruna Quadri of Africa someday as he has flair for table tennis and learning new things including teaching, his key aspiration now is to venture into Automobile Engineering in his future studies once there is availability of fund.

“Making friends and navigating diverse personalities was a challenge, but I embraced the opportunities to learn and grow. As a high achiever, I strived to excel in my department, which required dedication and perseverance. Despite the obstacles, I remained committed to creating a positive and enriching experience for myself during my time in in ESUT,” she said.
