In a post shared on August 20, 2026, Olusanya expressed her excitement about stepping into her next chapter as a young professional. "Yesterday was a celebration of what I have accomplished. Today, I am also thinking about what comes next," she wrote, signaling her forward-looking perspective.

In another report, Legit.ng noted that Adebanjo Oluolamide, who graduated with First-Class Honours in Aerospace Engineering, was named LASU's overall best graduating student for the 2025/2026 academic session, winning N30 million. His recognition came during the university's combined 29th and 30th convocation ceremonies, which covered both the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions.
