Following FUOYE's recent convocation, the story of Success Oluwaseun is making waves. She emerged as the second overall best graduating student, setting a new record in the Department of Criminology and Security Studies with a massive 4.87 CGPA. In an interview with Punch Newspaper, the 24-year-old scholar shared the core strategies that kept her consistently at the top:

  • Zero "Panic Reading": Success completely avoided last-minute cramming before exams. She maintained a discipline of reading for at least two hours daily and revising topics immediately after classes.
  • The Front-Row Rule: She made it a strict personal rule to never miss lectures, take detailed notes, and always sit in the front row to maintain maximum focus.
  • The Power of Association: She intentionally guarded her inner circle. She and her three close friends lived and studied togetherβ€”and three of the four ended up graduating with a First Class!
  • Parental "Cash for Grades": Her parents motivated her through a "monetary reinforcement system," rewarding her with cash (like ₦20,000 or ₦50,000) whenever she maintained or hit a perfect GPA.
  • Strict Time Management: Despite handling intense responsibilities like serving as FUOYE's "One-Day Vice-Chancellor" and holding church leadership positions, she learned to prioritize, say no when necessary, and set boundaries to protect her health and her grades.

β€œExcellence is not sustained by intelligence alone, but by grace and absolute trust in God.” β€” Success Oluwaseun
