By Elizabeth Uwandu

BY virtue of Ayodeji Daniel Dada scoring an overall 5.00 CGPA at the 2015/2016 University of Lagos convocation ceremony, he becomes the first to achieve such feat in West Africa.

Speaking as one of the special guests honour at the annual youth economic and entrepreneur forum, tagged , “ The CEO Round Table Beta Summit 2016.” held recently at the Multi purpose of Hall OF the University of Lagos, UNILAG. Dada said he was not that regular student that visit the library always for knowledge, rather he made used of his laptop as a veritable resource material.

“ Several laws work in business and academics. And one such law is to break conformity. For instance, I went to the library once in my 200l . I am not a library person. What I did in my undergraduate days was that I decided to have all the information about my course. This made me to create my own library on my laptop.”

Urging the youths to be high achievers, Dada said that people who make it in life avoid conformity, rather, they sacrifice and plan ahead of others. “ Conformity is a capital sin. And law of Social Prove is that you must learn to destroy conformity, learn to plan and sacrifice. As you can not play and pay at the same time.

“ As youths in this global competitive world, you must have a goal that will consume you.”
