UNIABUJA student bags degree, emerges faculty’s best
On her LinkedIn page, Blessing Sunday shared how she felt when her name was called, and she walked to the stage during her convocation.
She also appreciated her family and recounted the rare honour she felt while receiving her award and shaking hands with a former Nigerian President, Yakubu Gowon.
Her LinkedIn post read:
“On April 17, 2026, I didn’t just graduate from the University of Abuja — I stepped into a moment I had quietly worked toward for years. Not only did I finish with a First Class, I emerged as the Best Graduating Student in my faculty.
“There’s something surreal about hearing your name called, walking across that stage, and realizing every late night, every moment of doubt, every sacrifice has found its voice in that one moment.
“I had the rare honour of receiving my award and shaking hands with distinguished personalities — the Chancellor, the Pro-Chancellor, and former Nigerian President, Yakubu Gowon. But beyond the applause, the titles, and the recognition, what stayed with me most was gratitude.
“To my parents — thank you for being my anchor and my covering. For every sacrifice, every prayer, every moment you chose me even when the journey was uncertain. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine.
“To my classmates and friends — thank you for the shared journey. The long nights, the laughter, the pressure, the encouragement, and even the competition that made us all better. You made the process meaningful.
“To every lecturer, mentor, and every person I encountered along the way — thank you for shaping me, stretching me, and contributing to the person I am becoming. And to myself — for the discipline, the resilience, and the decision to keep going, even on the days it felt impossible.”
