Abbieolowo, a Nigerian woman, has become the first person in her bloodline to ever attend university, graduating with a BSc in Physics and a First-Class Honours degree. She achieved a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.95 out of 5.0, a result that drew widespread attention online.
First in Her Bloodline to Graduate
Abbieolowo shared the news on her social media page, celebrating her graduation with a post that quickly resonated with many people. In her announcement, she wrote: "Congratulations to me ???. It's finally my turn to graduate. First person in my bloodline to go to school. BSc Physics (First-Class Honours). CGPA: 4.95/5.0 GPA."
The achievement is remarkable on multiple levels. Not only did she pursue a degree in Physics, widely regarded as one of the most demanding courses of study, but she did so without the benefit of a family tradition of higher education. There were no older relatives who had walked the same path before her, and no blueprint to follow through university life.
CGPA That Turned Heads Online
Her final grade of 4.95 out of a possible 5.0 placed her firmly in First-Class Honours territory, a distinction that requires sustained excellence across every year of study. The score, combined with her disclosure about being the first in her family to attend school, prompted an outpouring of congratulations from people who came across her post.
The photo she shared alongside the announcement only added to the moment, giving a face to a story that many found deeply inspiring.
Lagos State University Sisters Also Graduate with First Class
In a related development, two sisters from Lagos State University graduated with First Class Honours degrees in different education programmes. Ibukunoluwa studied Business Education, while her sister studied English Education, with both achieving the highest academic distinction.
