The Governor charged Aminat to sustain her brilliance and aim for excellence in her future endeavour.
Miss Yusuf Aminat has assured Sanwo-Olu she would do her best to maintain the sterling performance when she gets to the Law school, “ i will do my best,” she said.
Sanwo-Olu had met Aminat and her parents at his official residence where the interaction between the duo focused on her background and how she rose to prominence through her brilliance and academic performance.
She told the Governor, “Since my primary school days, my parents have shown unrelenting commitment to my personal development and that of my siblings. They trained us to always aim for the best, while they did their best to provide everything we need. They are involved at every level of my academic journey; making them proud is my way of paying back the support they have given me.”
Sanwo-Olu told Aminat that the academic feat had thrusted the responsibility of a role model on her, charging her to use her voice and fame to promote scholarship among young people in vulnerable communities.
The Governor said Aminat’s academic achievement had further validated Lagos’ profile as the Centre of Excellence, adding that his administration would continue to do its best in preserving quality education in the State-owned universities.
