Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State on Monday offered  First Class Law graduate at the Lagos State University (LASU), Miss Yusuf Aminat, automatic employment into the state’s public service.

It would be recalled Yusuf emerged as the best-ever graduate at LASU with a 5.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in the institution’s Law Degree Programme

Governor Obaseki’s offer was conveyed by the Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, who said, “Beyond merely congratulating her, we have offered automatic employment to her. Indeed, we have reached out to her parents and spoken with them. They have accepted our offer of employment.”

The deputy governor of the state, Comrade Philip Shaibu, had earlier hosted Yusuf and her parents in his office, where he described her as a role model to young Nigerians who had demonstrated their desire to take back Nigeria into their hands.

“You have given hope to that child that thinks all is lost. Nigeria is in dire need of role models, role models are lacking in our system, and the last elections showed that the young people are ready to take their destiny into their hands, people like you will have to play a role to motivate them.” Shaibu noted.

The Dean of the Law Faculty in LASU, Professor Kareem Olatoye, who was represented by Obadan Abudu, a lecturer at the University, said Yusuf was very hard working and always in the library.

To her father, Ibrahim Yusuf, Aminat had always shown the tendency to be bright, and while appreciating the state government for the offer, advocated the return of bursaries for students.

“In the past, there used to be a policy of bursary for Edo Students studying anywhere in the country, I think this is the time for the government to give that a thought again because I know what we passed through for her to study Law,” the father advocated.

Responding, the recipient said she was a proud Edo person and was always ready to give back to her homeland.

“I have always been very passionate about reading law and the fact that women of today now have more opportunities than our mothers had. I wanted also to show that to a full extent, when given the opportunity, we will excel, and with God’s support and my parent’s support, I have been able to do that the goal is to excel beyond my imagination, and I intend to go as far as my imagination can take me and I am passionate about my state
