This level of excellence was maintained throughout subsequent semesters, with her consistently recording a 5.00 GPA across multiple academic sessions. Despite this flawless run, her final cumulative grade point average at graduation was 4.86, likely influenced by her grades from earlier 100- and 200-level courses.
In her post, Dasho captioned the screenshots with a message of pride and perseverance: "Maintaining a 5.0 GPA is impossible they said........6 semesters 5.0 GPA. Countless sleepless nights, discipline, and a lot of prayers. Proud of this journey." Her achievement led to her being recognized as the best graduating student in the Faculty of Science at OAUSTECH.
