[PHOTOS] Ex- UNIOSUN Student Emerges Best Graduating Medical Student In Ukraine

A Nigerian, Lateefat Oyeleye Abiola, on
Friday emerged the best graduating
medical student at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv
National University in Ukraine.
She scored 95.6 per cent to emerge the
best, not just at her university, where
she beat 564 other students, but overall
in the country.
The announcement that her score was
the best in the entire Ukraine was
made by Vil S. Bakirov, president of the
university.
The convocation ceremony was
attended by UNIOSUN vice-chancellor,
Labo Popoola, and deputy governor of
Osun, Titi Laoye-Tomori.
Abiola delivered the valedictory speech
at the ceremony.

It was gathered that there were 49
other students from Osun state in
Abiola’s set. They all passed their
examinations.
Abiola who was a student of Osun State
University was sponsored to complete
her studies at the Ukrainian university
by the government of Rauf Aregbesola.
She was one of the 85 medical students
of UNIOSUN left stranded and unable to
complete their studies after the
National Universities Commission (NUC)
in 2012 refused to accredit the course
for lack of a medical school.

However, in 2014, governor Aregbesola
decided to fully sponsor the 85
students, that belonged to two different
sets, to complete their medical studies
in Ukraine.
Kharkiv University is the only university
in Ukraine that has produced three
Nobel Prize laureates. (NAN)
