In her words, she stated,
Thinking back, I would say yes. I had no doubt about making a First Class, the perfect CGPA was a nice addition to it. I have always been a highflyer right from primary school. I have always been first in class in college, Brookstone School (Secondary). My lowest GPA in high school was 4.7. I remember that I cried a lot that day and vowed never to go that low ever again.
Every other one was either a 4.9 or 5.0. I had seven A1s and two B2s in my West African Senior School Certificate Examinations, and seven A*s and two As in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education. So, when I got to the university, it did not seem far-fetched to maintain that. When I got my first 5.0 in my first semester in my first year, it further fuelled my conviction that I could ride that wave till I graduated. I am glad that I was able to do that.
