A Nigerian young man receives a first-class degree in pharmacy and four scholarships to UK universities.
Adebisi Yusuff Adebayo, a gifted Nigerian, has made history by receiving scholarships to four (4) top universities in the United Kingdom for his outstanding pharmacy degree.
Yusuff Adebayo graduated with honors from the University of Ibadan in South-West Nigeria with a first-class Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (B.Pharm). He graduated as one of the university’s top students.
However, the determined young man went on to apply for scholarships in the United Kingdom because his passion for research remains his top priority.
Yusuff explained that he applied for scholarships at four top UK universities, including the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Nottingham, and Southampton.
His applications were reviewed by the four universities, and each of them offered him a scholarship to attend their respective institutions.
The University of Cambridge offered him a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Population Health Sciences, as well as an MPH in Global Health.
The Universities of Southampton and Oxford both offered him an MSc in Global Health and an MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology.
When given the option of choosing one of the four options, Yusuff Adebayo revealed that he has decided to enroll at the prestigious University of Oxford on a fully funded scholarship, making him one of the eight scholars nominated.
Yusuff Adebayo went on to say that, in addition to the Kevin Molloy Fellowship from Knowledge-Action-Change, he had two nominations and one reservation for Commonwealth Shared Scholarships.
He hopes that his experience will inspire other young people to work hard and pursue their dreams.
“The voyage has been interesting and filled with a range of feelings. Another example of how your background is never a barrier is my story.
He went on to say, “I am ecstatic about this new chapter in my life, especially the opportunity to hone my skills in global health research in this world-class learning environment.”
He thanks God, his teachers, and his family for their assistance. He thanked God, his mentors, his family, friends, funders, instructors, lecturers, and everyone else who had assisted him on his journey.
