He also addressed fellow students directly, urging them not to consider giving up as an option.
In his words:
“100I First semester GPA 3.38, 100I 2nd semester GPA 4.15, 200I First semester GPA 4.16, 200I 2nd semester GPA 4.34, 300I First semester GPA 4.88, 300I 2nd semester GPA 5.00, 400I First semester GPA 5.00, 400I 2nd semester GPA 5.00, First class honor (B.sc Anatomy). Best graduating student.
“Today, I celebrate a defining milestone, my convocation as a graduate of Anatomy. This journey has been one of discipline, resilience, and faith. By God’s grace, I graduated with a First Class and as the Best Graduating Student, an achievement that reflects consistency more than anything else. There were countless late nights of studying and a commitment to learning every single day. I came to understand that success is not instant; it is a gradual process. Growth comes through challenges, and the difficult moments are often what shape us the most.
“To my fellow students: never see giving up as an option. Stay consistent, understand what you study, be able to defend your knowledge, and help others learn because teaching strengthens mastery. There are no shortcuts to true success. My sincere gratitude goes to God Almighty, my family, my amiable HOD Dr. C. S. Elemuo, my able Professor Dr. A. A. Nwakama, Dr. Raymond Olisa, and all my lecturers who guided me throughout this journey. In everything you do, no matter how hard it gets, giving up can never be an optio and you fail only when you give up. Ezeonyi Chinonso (B. Sc Anatomy).”
