Amusan Tosin Chukwunonso, a graduate of Hospitality and Tourism from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has made history by finishing with a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.99 out of 5.00. According to a post shared on X on 19 August 2026, Tosin's result set a new record, making her the first student in her department, her college, and the university as a whole to achieve such a score in the programme.
Record-Breaking Academic Achievement at FUNAAB
Tosin earned straight A's throughout her studies, with only one B recorded across her entire academic career at FUNAAB. Her provisional statement of result, shared alongside her post, confirmed a First Class classification and a PASS status, with the cumulative GPA sitting at approximately 4.99. The achievement is remarkable in any discipline, but particularly so in Hospitality and Tourism, a field that demands both theoretical knowledge and practical competence. Breaking a record at the departmental and university level simultaneously places Tosin in a category few graduates ever reach.
She said: "I graduated with a 4.99/ 5.00 CGPA in Hospitality and Tourism from Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB), setting a new record as the first in my department, college and the University. Had A's all through with a single B .?"
