Five firms struggle to hire him.
Ayodele Daniel Dada, the star graduandof the University of Lagos
(UNILAG), is already the toast of many companies.
The 29-year-old Ekiti state born Psychology graduate set a record for
achieving the maximum5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in the
university.After receiving his scroll at the 2014/2015 convocation, he
said he has been approached by many companies, three of them
multinationals.
Dada, who is working as an intern in one of the firms he refused to
mention, said he has not made up his mind which one to go with.
"Many companies have been requesting for my services. I won't mention
them but there are three solid offers now and I am currently on an
internship with a global multinational company," he said atthe
convocation.
Dada carted home prizes worth N1 million for his sterling
performance.He won eight awards of various categories, including the
Vice Chancellor's award for the best graduating student, worth N600
000.
He also got N500 000 from the UNILAG Alumni Association, which was
presented by the National president, Dr Sunny Kuku.Kuku, who announced
the award while admitting the new graduands into the alumni
association, said the body rewarded him with N100, 000 to represent
each CGPA he attained, adding up to N500, 000, as against the
association's usual N100, 000 cash prize to the best graduating
student as well as a plaque.
Dada, who was thrilled by the awards, expressed profound gratitude to
the institution for their support.Being the top of his class from his
first year, he said he used the opportunity toteach his peers and
younger ones as much as he could and eventually got paid for his
tutoring services."I give glory to God and I understand that it took a
lot to get here.
I am proud of all the people who were part of my success story. I also
feel the weight of the responsibility that this achievementbequeaths
on me.
"I did private tutoring for my colleaguesand my juniors while in
school and theypaid me for it. It was useful for me even in my own
academics. I got the advantages both academically and financially,"
Dada said, delivering his valedictory speech, Dada said being the best
was not only about reading books, but having a balanced life and
surmounting impossibilities.He said:
"I was a social person throughout school. I attended birthday
parties, cinemas, I had so many movieson my laptop and I was sharing
them with my colleagues, as I was sharing notes as well."
I have fond memories. I was the head of my final year planning
committee for dinners, symposium, and was involved in a lot of other
things. But I didn't havea girlfriend."I had close friends but I did
not want to have to deal with a lot of things at the same time.
I was working and schooling. You don't have to be a genius to get the
results of a genius. Just target excellence always. The nation needs
us. We must readily take direction for our lives."
