A Nigerian female medical student has
shot herself to world reckoning as she beats scores of her course mates to
emerge victoriously best at the medical school in Ghana. Newly sworn-in
Nigerian graduate doctor has made history at the 23rd Kwame Nkrumah University
of Science and Technology (KNUST) School of Medical Sciences and set a new
record as the best graduating student, taking home a dozen out of 15 awards
available.
25-year-old Nigerian alumnus of the Wesley Girls High School,
Fathia Ayodele Kareem, has set a record at the School of Medical Sciences of
the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, breaking its
academic record.
She received 12 out of the 15 awards presented during the
oath-swearing and induction ceremony for fresh doctors of the institution last
Saturday, and her record became the highest in the 41-year establishment of the
KNUST Medical School.
Kareem who hopes to specialize in the field of pediatrics/child
care, took several turns to receive the awards in the 55-year-old ivory tower,
and when asked if she expected to get the number of awards, she said, “Yes
and No. Yes because I worked hard by studying and no because I did not expect
to receive so many awards.”
Of late, many
Nigerians have distinguished themselves in many overseas universities, with
some of them emerging as valedictorians of their schools.
