Barely 24 hours after the news broke out that six fresh graduates of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) had won doctoral degree scholarships from top-rated universities in the United States of America (U.S.A) and Brazil, another thrilling news has frittered in that six other brilliant students of the upwardly mobile University, have proved their academic wizardry by clearing the 2024 Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) exams. The students’ admirable performance has elicited encomiums from several quarters for FUOYE.
The six students who made FUOYE proud by becoming newly minted Chartered Accountants are Rojugbokan Oluwafemi,
Ajibade Gideon Opeyemi, Oni Joshua Oluwafemi, and Opakunle Philip
who are in 400 Level as well as
Abdulrazaq Abeeb and Eretan Ibukunoluwa Deborah, who are currently in 300 Level. Abeeb and Ibukun were recently elected President and General-Secretary of the FUOYE chapter of the Nigeria Union of Accounting Students Association, (NUASA) respectively.
Commenting on the laudable development, Dean of the Faculty of Management Sciences, Prof. Babatunde Afolabi, a Professor of Finance, said: “We really appreciate God since the coming in of the Administration of Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina, there has been a continuous success story in the faculty and indeed Department of Accounting. Last year, one of our students , Miss. Olatomide Ayomide Precious, was the overall best in the whole of West Africa who wrote ICAN. Now, 6 undergraduate students have cleared their ICAN before graduation. This is a great feat, and we appreciate God and our amiable Vice Chancellor and his management team.“
