A young son of Benue State, Ayila Patrick has written his name in gold, graduating from Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), with a First Class Degree in Engineering and a rare, perfect 5.0 CGPA.
His journey to this extraordinary feat is a story of grit, grace, and unyielding faith. Far from home and familiar faces, he navigated culture shock, demanding coursework, and the challenges of balancing studies with business pursuits. Yet, through it all, he kept his eyes on the goal powered by discipline, determination, and divine guidance.
“The last mile is always the hardest,” he reflected, recalling countless sleepless nights and sacrifices that paved his way to excellence. Beyond academics, he also served as General Secretary of the Nigerian Institute of Civil Engineers Students’ Affiliate (NICESA), and made tangible contributions during his internship on real-world engineering projects.
His triumph is not just personal, it’s an inspiring message to young Nigerians that hard work, focus, and faith can break any barrier.
As family, friends, and mentors celebrate his well-earned success, his story shines as a powerful reminder that greatness often begins from humble roots and with resilience, the sky is never the limit.
