A Nigerian student, Victor Olalusi, has reportedly scored 5.0
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at the Russian National Research
Medical University, Moscow, a world record.
This piece of information was made available by the federal ministry
of education on Wednesday in Abuja, when it honoured the young doctor,
who achieved the feat in 2013, arguably the first in the world.
PM News reports that Olalusi, who was the best graduating student in
the whole of the Russian Federation in 2013, studied in RNRMU under the
Russia-Nigeria Bilateral Education Agreement when he achieved the
enviable feat.
Dr MacJohn Nwaobiala, permanent secretary in the ministry, said a lot
of Nigerian students were brilliant but Olalusi was a genius and had
become an ambassador not only to the ministry but to Nigeria and Russia.
He said: “We have to search the Guinness Book of Records for
anybody who has achieved 5.0 in a university. It is curious and strange
that all those that evaluated his performance could not find reason to
reduce a point from him.
“You should be the ambassador of the Federal Scholarship Board, Ministry of Education, Nigeria and the Russian Federation.“I look forward to the day you will stand before the President to receive your honour. We have recommendations to that effect.”
Waow!
