While commending the lady for being a good ambassador of the state, he stated that her feat showed that with commitment, dedication and hard work one can achieve uncommon success.
She broke over two decades record
Though the university was formed in the year 1961, the faculty of sciences was created in 1992, a statement on the school's official website confirms.
As the best graduating student the faculty has ever produced, it means the lady broke a 29-year-old record.

Student who broke 39-year-old record cries out
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that an IMSU graduate who broke a 39-year-old record at the university has stated that none of the persons who promised him gifts have redeemed them.
The young man became an internet sensation after YEN.com.gh's report earlier in the year highlighting his academic achievement.
More than 8 months down the line, nothing has been done in recognizing his feat by his institution neither have the persons who promised rewards kept their words.
