Speaking on her achievement, the elated lady expressed delight at finally wrapping up her academic pursuit after gaining admission into Babcock University, Ikenne, at the age of 15.
The bright woman said it dawned on her that huge success was in the offing when in year one, the first semester, she had a GPA of 4.91/5.0.
Her post read in part:
"At 18, I’m excited to announce that I am a first-class Economics graduate from Babcock University!
"Coming in to university at 15 was so tough on me, and it took a while for me to get used to. But in my first semester, when I emerged top in my class (GPA:4.91/5.0), I knew that I would be okay.
"The journey has finally come to an end and I’m filled with mixed emotions. However, I am grateful to God for helping me, and for bringing such wonderful friends to my life in my stay at Babcock University. I am also grateful to my family and my mentors."

19-year-old bags first-class in style
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that a 19-year-old lady had celebrated graduating from university with a first-class.
The Lagos state indigene told us exclusively that the aim for her had always been to be the best version of herself.
The young lady, who is currently serving in Rivers state, said that her target after learning that first class was still attainable was to finish each semester with only A's.
"I’m just genuinely grateful to God for making it possible for me to actualize my goal.
"I’d like to say I didn’t put enough efforts in my initial years in the university. However the goal to graduate with a first class was what motivated me to discuss with my course advisor Mr. Mamidu.
"I met him to discuss if it was still possible to graduate with a first class considering that I was on second class upper division. We then proceeded to calculate how many A’s and how many B’s I needed to score before I make a first class..."
