The Academic Excellence Prize is an initiative of Engr. Osasere Favour Osifo, a former President of the UNIBEN Students’ Union, who is currently the Vice President of the University of Benin Alumni Association, North America (UBAANA), and also a member of the United States Airforce.

Speaking at the award ceremony held at the University of Benin on Friday, Engr.

Engr. Osifo, who was represented by Comrade Uyi Valentine, a former Senior Special Assistant to the Edo State Governor and Comrade Ogochukwu Isioma, a journalist and publisher of Campus Gist, noted that in today’s society where celebrating mediocrity and shunning academic excellence is fast becoming a norm, the Academic Prize came on board to change the narrative.

brought you here. Remember the challenges you overcame, the sacrifices you made, and the support you received along the way, cherish this moment, as it is a testament to your dedication and unwavering spirit.
