AL-HIKMAT ALUMNUS EMERGE BEST GRADUATING STUDENT

It’s indeed a moment of joy to the members of the Alumni, Management, students and all members of the AL-HIKMAT FAMILY as one of her members, Ibrahim Babatunde Tiamiyu emerge as the best graduating student of the Department of Economics, Lagos State University (LASU). The declaration was made some few months ago before the postponement of the institution’s convocation ceremony. It was further verified yesterday, 17th of December, 2020 during the convocation ceremony.

Ibrahim was admitted into the Al-Hikmat College in the year 2007, as a student of JSS1. He is popularly known in the college with his self-named nickname SAMBA T. During his concluding days in the great citadel of learning, Ibrahim was appointed as the assistant head boy and Speaker of the Students Representative Council (SRC). He served in these positions for about a year.
The members of the Alumni, upon getting the information about his outshining success, were happy and wished him better in his endeavors.

Latifat Salau, who also emerged as the best graduating student of her department in 2017, was the first person to comment with a very lauding ‘Maa sha Allah’.
The principal of Al-Hikmat College, Alhaji Misbaudeen Bishi was also astonished and could not but pray fervently for the hero. He said “You will continue to grow from strength to strength in sha Allah. More grease to your elbow and continue to make Islam and your family proud. Aamin”.
Another alumnus, Abdurraheem Dosunmu, the Mudeer of Sifaaratu Tajweed, made his comment in the way of ‘those days’ in Al-Hikmat. He shouted the nickname of the BGS ‘Sambalocracy’ after praying for him in the Yoruba dialect.

In a chat with the celebrant, he expressed how happy and fulfilled he is. He said

“I felt so fulfilled and mostly grateful to the Almighty God.

I realised vividly that dreams do come true.

This landmark achievement gives me more room to say “School is never a scam”.

Tiamiyu left an unforgettable quotable quote to the public in his chat with our correspondence. He stated “

“Irrespective of your background, gender and what have you, Success is never biased, it is attainable by ANYBODY and EVERYBODY.”

My advice to the young ones, my colleagues and the world at large is that, the first step towards the journey of greatness is taking out quality time in identifying oneself; knowing what works for you and what makes studying and hardwork fun.

Moreover, in our respective minds, we all need to be righteous with our activities and overall, seek the grace of the Almighty God.”

Our correspondence also got to realize that there are still ‘1001’ Alhikmites out there shining in their various space.

We look forward to bringing you more of these great personalities who will contribute positively to the growth of the nation as a whole. 

Once more we congratulate and felicitate with our own Ibrahim Babatunde Tiamiyu, AAT, ACA, BSc. Economics (First Class Honours).
