The Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti (BOUESTI) has announced that 1,645 students will graduate at its second convocation ceremony. Out of this number, 60 students achieved First Class honours. The figures were disclosed by the university's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Andrew Omojola, on Monday. The event marks a key milestone for the institution as it continues to expand its academic output.
Sixty students earning First Class degrees from BOUESTI reflects a strong academic performance that could enhance the institution's reputation among Nigerian tertiary institutions. For Nigerian students and parents, this outcome signals that public universities outside the traditional elite cluster can produce top-tier graduates when academic standards are upheld.
In a system where JAMB scores and university prestige often shape perceptions, this achievement adds weight to the growing credibility of newer state-owned universities. It may influence admission choices, especially as more parents and students prioritise value and performance over brand name. Graduates from institutions like BOUESTI now have stronger proof of competitiveness in the job market.
Students should verify their eligibility and ensure all clearance requirements are met ahead of convocation to avoid delays in graduation.
