Female Students Have Always Outperformed Male Counterparts: Professor Ibraheem Gbajabiamila

The Vice Chancellor of Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State Professor Ibraheem Gbajabiamila has stated that the school has always had females as their best student. He stated this at the 15th matriculation programme of the institution last week.

While delivering admission message to the students, the Professor of Microbiology recalled that for the past decade and half, female products of the institution had always performed better than their male counterparts as they usually hit the ground running from their first day on campus, adding that there were usually more female students in the library than their male counterparts.

Challenging the fresh male students, Gbajabiamila wondered if they could beat the 15-year record, while also stressing that female students' excellent performances remained global phenomenon.

He charged students to be good citizens of their States of origin, Nigeria and the global community at large. He urged them to "make the best use of the golden opportunity presented by their admission into Crescent University, Abeokuta by saying no to cultism, drug abuse, violence and examination malpractice" as these vices could send them away from the university.

Professor Gbajabiamila then challenged the new students to be more commitment to their study noting that their level of commitment to academic work would determine the degree of their performance in their examinations and he urged them "not to allow any extraneous or peer group influence to distract their attention from academic work.
