The
Federal Ministry of Education on Wednesday in Abuja honoured Dr Victor

National Research Medical University, Moscow (RNRMU) in 2013, arguably the
first in the world.
According
to P.M news, a Nigerian student named Dr Victor Olalusi has set a
new record in Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow (RNRMU)
after amassing a 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) in the school.
He was
the best graduating student in the whole Russian Federation in 2013. His study
was under the Russia-Nigeria Bilateral Education Agreement.
This
great educational feat attracted a special honour from the Federal Ministry of
Education in Abuja on Wednesday, 28th of July. This record has been termed as
the first in the world.
Speaking
at the event, Dr MacJohn Nwaobiala, the Permanent Secretary in the
ministry said a lot of Nigerian students were brilliant but Olalusi was a
genius.
He said
Olalusi had become an ambassador not only to the ministry but to Nigeria and
Russihi
Nwaobiala
said: “We have to search the Guinness Book of Records for anybody who has
achieved 5.0 in a university. It is curious and strange that all those that
evaluated his performance could not find reason to reduce a point from him.
“You
should be the ambassador of the Federal Scholarship Board, Ministry of
Education, Nigeria and the Russian Federation.
“I look
forward to the day you will stand before the President to receive your honour.
We have recommendations to that effect, ’’
He then urged Olalusi to continue to be a role model to young Nigerians and also called on him to explore opportunities in post graduate research.
