Labeebah, who studied Marine Pollu­tion and Management, in the Department of Marine Sciences, graduated with dis­tinction during the 2022/2023 academic session.

Labeebah was among the 6,659 students awarded postgraduate degrees by the Uni­versity at the 55th Convocation ceremony held on Thursday, January 16.

As a hijabi Muslim lady, she has a history of academic excellence, having graduated four years ago with first-class honours in Marine Biology from the same university.

Labeebah was among the top three stu­dents in her 2019/2020 undergraduate class, achieving a CGPA of 4.65.

“Thankfully, with prayers, support, and advice from my family and mentors, I was able to achieve this feat again four years after completing my first degree.

“This time, I ended up with a CGPA of 4.83 for my master’s programme. I remain very grateful,” she stated in an interview with our Correspondent after receiving her certificate on Thursday, 16th January.

Labeebah, who is also a sales associate for Muslim News, expressed her grati­tude to Allah (SWT), her family, friends, well-wishers, and the entire Muslim com­munity.

She views her accomplishment as a re­ward for her continuous dedication while acknowledging that there is still more to achieve.

“I feel a sense of accomplishment. This indicates that I have striven hard and re­ceived constant reminders from people who encourage me not to settle for less,” she said.

The Muslimah mentioned that despite earning a first-class degree in her under­graduate studies, she understood that ob­taining a distinction in her master’s pro­gramme would be challenging.

“I knew a Master’s programme would be tougher than an undergraduate pro­gramme and would require a lot of hard work and dedication, especially in my unique field, which necessitates extra ef­fort. Therefore, achieving distinction is not something that comes easily.”

While pursuing her Master’s degree, the Iwo, Osun State-born Scholar has also been building her brand as a Marketing Director with Muslim News and engaging in research. Now that she has completed her second degree, she looks forward to op­portunities in reputable firms where she can apply her knowledge and expertise as a marine scientist.

“Given my Master’s focus on Marine Pollution and Management, I hope to join a company where my expertise will be relevant and contribute to organizational goals. Companies involved in importation, exportation, ecosystem management, and related fields would be ideal for my growth and success.

“Multinational oil companies that prior­itize extracting resources without harming aquatic life would also provide ample op­portunities for learning and development. I’m looking at organisations such as NPA, NNPC, NLNG, and others where my knowl­edge can be applied.”

Labeebah, who had her NYSC at the Ni­gerian Maritime Administration and Safe­ty Agency (NIMASA), Abuja, encouraged younger students to be certain about their career choices, saying, “It can be competi­tive and challenging out there. Therefore, you need to be sure of your goals; you can’t just enter the field unprepared.”
