Senator Fasuyi, representing the Ekiti North Senatorial District, has taken a remarkable step by recognizing and rewarding the achievements of the best-graduating students in his district.
This morning, after reading a post on my Facebook about an Ekiti boy, Olabode Ojo Johnson, who scored a 5.00 CGPA at the University of Lagos being the best graduating MSc student of Metallurgy and Materials who hails from Asun Ekiti State and having also read about another Ekiti graduate student, Ojo-Lanre Oreofe Anthonia, who scored CGPA 4.86 Mass Communication, Dominion University,
He is leaving an indelible mark in the hearts of the recipients and their families.
Senator Cyril Fasuyi’s initiative to award a sum of 250k each to the two best-graduating students from his district demonstrates his commitment to fostering a culture of excellence in education.
By acknowledging and encouraging the hard work, dedication, and talent of these outstanding students, Senator Fasuyi not only motivates them to continue their academic journey but also inspires other students to strive for greatness.

By publicly recognizing the best students, he instills a sense of pride and motivation in the students, encouraging them to strive for academic excellence. It also inspires other students to work harder and aim for similar achievements, fostering healthy competition and a drive for improvement among the youth.
