A 24 Year old University of Ilorin graduate has set a record as the "First Student to graduate with a First Class degree" in the Department of Science Education. The student identified as AZEEZ, Ahmad Tijani, graduated with a C.G.P.A of 4.52 to become the first graduate to achieve that in the institution since 1981.

Prior to now, Chemistry Education which is a unit in the department of Science Education at University of Ilorin, has never had a First Class Graduate. Congratulations to Master AZEEZ, Ahmad Tijani for breaking an age long record.
