Osun student emerges best medicine graduate in Ukraine

Dr.Lateefat Abiola,emerged best graduating medical student at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in Ukraine on 30 June as she delivered the valedictory speech.

Abiola, an ex-student of Osun State University, was sponsored to the Ukrainian university by the state government to complete her studies.

She scored 95.6 per cent to emerge the best not just at her university where she beat 564 other students but overall in Ukraine.


The announcement that her score was the best in the entire Ukraine was made at a Pre-Convocation meeting by the President of the university, Prof Vil S. Bakirov.

Acording to The Nation, Abiola was one of the 85 medical students of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) left stranded after the National Universities Commission (NUC) in 2012 refused to accredit the course for lack of a medical school.

In 2014, when Governor Rauf Aregbesola came on board, he decided to fully sponsor the 85 students that belonged to two different sets to complete their Medical studies at the Kharkiv National University, Ukraine.
