- By Adewunmi Adenekan
The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has offered recording-setting first-class law graduate, at the Lagos State University (LASU), Aminat Yusuf, who hails from Edo State, automatic employment in the state’s public service.
Yusuf emerged as the best-ever graduate at LASU with a 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average in the institution’s Law Degree Programme.
The governor’s offer was conveyed by the Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa Esq. where he said “Beyond merely congratulating her, we have offered automatic employment to her. Indeed, we have reached out to her parents and spoken with them. They have accepted our offer of employment.”
The Deputy Governor of the state, Rt Hon Philip Shaibu had earlier hosted Aminat and her parents on Monday in his office where he described Yusuf as a role model to young Nigerians who have demonstrated their desire to take back Nigeria.
Shaibu said, “You have given hope to that child that thinks all is lost. Nigeria is in dire need of role models, which are lacking in our system. The last elections showed that the young people are ready to take their destiny into their hands, people like you will have to play a role to motivate them.”
The Dean of the Law Faculty at LASU, Professor Kareem Olatoye who was represented by Obadan Abudu who is a lecturer in the University said she was hard working and always reading in the library.
