“I Was Sent Home From My Previous School In Lagos During JSS3 Because Of Unpaid Fees, Severe Family Hardship Forced Us To Relocate To Ota”- Best Graduating Student In Lagos Who Got 20 Million Gift From Governor Sanwo Olu Shares Touching Story

Samuel Oluolamide Adeyanjo the best graduating student at Lagos State University who got 20 million gift from gov Sanwo Olu shares touching story.

In his words:

“4.97 / 5.00 CGPA. 🎓
Overall Best Graduating Student, Lagos State University (2025/2026).

My journey didn’t start at LASU; it started in Sango Ota, Ogun State, at Top’s Bright International School. After I was sent home from my previous school in Lagos during JSS3 because of unpaid fees, severe family hardship forced us to relocate to Ota.

Things were financially tough growing up. There were days I was sent home for school fees, but I stayed consistent at the top of my class. Seeing my dedication, my school proprietor did something remarkable: he cleared all my outstanding debts, granted me a full scholarship through SS3, covered my WAEC fees, and supported my UTME fees.

I will never forget the teachers who believed in me, teachers who gave me money to buy food to eat during school lunch break, Master Timothy Chinedu, and Mr. Tayo Ajileye, who enrolled me in free extra lessons. Everyone supported me with the little they had. That kindness proved to me early on that hard work and diligence pay off.

Entering LASU, my drive was simple: to make my family, my teachers, my proprietor, and everyone who invested in me proud”.
