What appears to be,
perhaps the longest elusive academic jinx in Nigeria was recently broken
by Ozibo Ozibo Ekele, a 2016 graduate of the famed Ibadan School of
History (Department of History), Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan,
where he finished top of the Faculty and Department with a B.A. (First
Class Honours) and a CGPA of 6.6 out of a possible 7.0.
UNN graduate, Ozibo Ozibo Ekele, breaks 69-year-old academic record in
UI with First Class
UNN graduate, Ozibo Ozibo Ekele, breaks 69-year-old academic record in
UI with First Class
By this feat, he became the first person to graduate with First Class
Honours in the 69-year-old Department.
Ozibo who is also a 2013 Mass Communication graduate of the University
of Nigeria Nsukka, is therefore expected to cart away several academic
Prizes in the forthcoming 2017 Convocation ceremony of the University of
Ibadan.
These include, Best Graduating Student of both Faculty of Arts and
Department of History; Dr. Robert Bradbury Memorial Prize; Irving and
Bonar Prize; Oba Lipede Prize; CUSO Nigeria Limited Prize; J.A. Atanda
Memorial Prize; and Omoyisola Atanda Memorial Prize in History.
A native of Agba in Ishielu L.G.A. of Ebonyi State, Ozibo is currently
rounding off his M.A. History Programme in Ibadan.
Established in November 1948 under the tutulege of the erudite
Professors C.J. Potter, Jean Mellanby, K.O. Dike and J.D. Omer-Cooper,
the Department of History, University of Ibadan, better known as the
Ibadan School of History for its pioneering role in nurturing
independence movements and advancing African historical research,
scholarship, culture and civilization, boasts as its alumni notable men
and women in all walks of life such as late JFA Ade-Ajayi and Chinua
Achebe, C.C. Momah, V.C. Ike, C.C. Ifemesia, Tekena Tamuno, A.E. Afigbo,
Obaro Ikime, E.C. Amucheazi, B.O. Oloruntimehin, B.A. Mojuetan, Okon
Uya, T.O. Iredia, G.O. Oguntomisin, CBN Ogbogbo (current National
President of the Historical Society of Nigeria), etc. It is interesting
to note that between 1948 and 2015, the Department could not produce a
First Class graduate until 2016 when Ozibo Ozibo Ekele broke the record.
Congratulations!
