His academic journey at Unilorin would make history, as he became the first graduate in the university's 47-year existence to achieve a First Class degree in the Department of Political Science.

Recalled that in December 2022, we posted that an Iwo Indigene broke a 40-Year Record by graduating with a First Class at UNILORIN.
