Foundation honours Osun student with academic excellence award

A former secondary school student from Osun State, Master Ajisafe Qoreebullah Olamilekan, has been honored for his exceptional academic performance. He received the prestigious Gamaliel Onosode Award for Academic Excellence for his outstanding results in the 2024/2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

Qoreebullah, an alumnus of Eeman Foundation College in Osogbo, achieved a remarkable feat by securing straight A grades in all subjects. This exceptional performance was officially confirmed by the West African Examinations Council during its Annual General Council Meeting. He is currently pursuing a Medicine and Surgery degree at the Federal University of Health Sciences in Ila-Orangun, Osun State.

This kind of achievement deserves to be celebrated. But this award is not only about one student. When we honor excellence, we signal that excellence is the standard.

The Gamaliel and Susan Onosode Foundation established the award to recognize and celebrate outstanding academic achievements while fostering a culture of discipline and consistency among young Nigerians. Mrs. Toyin Olanrewaju, Executive Director of the foundation (GAMSU), emphasized the importance of celebrating such accomplishments.

"When we honor excellence, we signal that excellence is the standard," Olanrewaju stated. She added that the initiative embodies the core values of the late Mr. Gamaliel Onosode, whose dedication to excellence and national development inspired the foundation's work. The award presentation included a certificate of recognition and a laptop for Qoreebullah, while his former school was recognized with a certificate and a cash gift of 250,000 Nigerian naira.

That is the work Mr Gamaliel Onosode gave his life to, and it remains the work we are committed to.
