A 57 year old grandfather, Aderemi Alli has bagged a first class degree in Law from the University of Ibadan,
Oyo state. He was among the 21 first class graduates produced by the
institution at its convocation ceremony held today in Ibadan.
Alli who had his first degree in
Economics Education 31 years ago and has his last child studying
Electrical Engineering in the same University was not deterred by
criticisms regarding his age. He was among the three first class
graduates produced by the institution’s Faculty of Law.
At the convocation ceremony, he told
journalists that he was motivated to study law because many of his
schoolmates had become Senior Advocates of Nigeria. “I feel I can still participate in the society in spite of my age,” he said. “I am using this medium to advise others that they can do it, if I can do it.”
The university graduated a total of
1,582 students for the 2011/2012 academic session with 243 graduating in
Second Class (Upper Division) and 920, Second Class (Lower Division). A
total of 135 of the students graduated with Third Class and 203 with
Pass.With your
resilience, you have shown that there is no age limit to attain any dream
setting goals and achieving success.
