The student of University of Lagos, Daniel Dada Ayodele, who graduated with A 5.0 CGPA has attributed his success to his ability to follow the rules.
The 29-year-old Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences student impressed the institution's vice chancellor,Professor Rahamon Bello, and other academics with his results.
In an interview with Vanguard, Dada said that conformity with the university, faculty and departmental regulations could be difficult, but it paid off.
He said that many people were not succeeding the way they ought to because they had chosen to be non-conformists.
According to him, conformity with guiding rules in any system often breeds excellent people.
He said for people to excel, they must be ready to see and do things in conformity with the system in which they operate.
"It is by doing this that you can actually carve a niche for yourself, explore, make new discoveries and be the best you want to be.
"You will get opposition no doubt, but if you are ready to make the necessary sacrifice, ready to challenge ideas on what you may think is impossible, and ask questions and listen, then the sky will be your limit," he said.
He also added that though he was not an indoor person, he did not let associating with friends and going on social outings make him to lose focus.
Dada said he was looking forward to furthering his studies as fast as possible, whether in the country or outside.
