Nigerian Girl Emerges The Best Graduating Student At The Dillard University, US
It
is not all bad news always for Nigeria. The United States First Lady
Michelle Obama joins other dignitaries to celebrate Merrilyn Akpapuna, a
Nigerian girl that emerged the best graduating student at the Dillard
University, New Orleans.
Like
a giant masquerade in the market place, all eyes were on 20-year-old
Nigerian, Merrilyn Akpapuna, two Saturdays ago at the Dillard
University, New Orleans, United States.
The
Psychology graduate not only obtained the highest academic honour Summa
Cum Laude (first class), she also emerged the best graduating student
in the ivory tower. As the institution’s valedictorian, she was on the
same podium with the wife of the President, Michelle Obama, during its
convocation.
Interestingly,
three other Nigerians joined Akpapuna in the league of the best
graduating students at the university. The three salutatorians are
Victor Ogburie, Stephen Igwe, and Emole Anyadimgba. They also made a
first class in their chosen disciplines.
