Miss Ifeoluwa Mercy Adeyemi, the overall best graduating student in the 2023/2024 academic session of Wesley University, Ondo State has shared the secret behind her remarkable achievements.
The 19-year-old bagged a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) degree in the Microbiology department, achieving a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.97.
Speaking at the university’s 13th convocation ceremony in Ondo Town, Ifeoluwa revealed that she avoided having a boyfriend during her four-year course to stay focused and minimise distractions.
She explained that her main inspiration throughout her academic journey was the desire to make her parents proud.
She said, “Well, I had actually discussed this matter with several other people, and they told me that it depends on your own perspective. But for me, I see it as a distraction because I cannot divide my mind. A boyfriend might be demanding my attention, which would prevent me from putting my total effort into my books.”
Adeyemi highlighted that while she currently has no plans to have a boyfriend, she is open to the idea when the time feels right.
Ifeoluwa further said, “At first, I have parents that I cannot disappoint. So this is one thing that keeps coming to my mind. Anytime I found distractions, I would remind myself: your parents are out there, and you need to make them proud.”

She added, “I want to solve problems in this world, especially in the health sector. And I have to put more effort into understanding this course, Microbiology, because it deals with microorganisms, which are central to diseases and health. So I need to focus on it and make my parents proud.”
Looking forward, Adeyemi intends to pursue a Master’s degree and eventually a Ph.D., with the goal of becoming a researcher.
