A 57-year-old grandfather, Mr Isiaka Alli, Thursday, was named among 21 graduating students with first class degrees as 1,582 students graduated from the University of Ibadan (UI).
Alli who had his first degree in Economics Education 31 years ago and a second degree from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has his last child studying Electrical Engineering in the same University.
Alli’s feat enthralled the crowd at the graduation ceremony held in the Trenchad Hall, when he was called for a handshake with the vice chancellor, Professor Isaac Adewole.
The grandpa attributed his success to faith and the determination to move the country forward informed his enrolling to study Law in the university.
Speaking at the occasion, Professor Adewole blamed the low number of first degree holders on the graduation list to the disruption of the 2011/2012 academic calendar.
