Ayodele Dada, the 29-year-old young man who graduated with a cumulative grade point average of 5.0 from the University of Lagos was on Wednesday honoured by the House of Representatives.
Dada received a standing ovation from the House during plenary in honour of his rare academic feat.
In an unprecedented gesture, the House suspended its rules to invite Mr Dada into its hallowed chamber to honour him and commend his remarkable achievement, a tradition usually reserved for visiting presidents and parliamentarians.
The lawmakers noted that the young man's success story in the face of the challenges in the education sector, is compelling and an inspiration to the Nigerian youth and the country in general.
