Suulola Oluwatimilehin Oluwaseun and Akinnuwesi Oluwatimilehin Deborah graduated from Redeemer’s University (RUN) with First-Class degrees in Law, and proceeded to the Nigerian Law School to earn the same First Class.

They both share what made them outstanding, giving credit to the standard and values of the university.

Suulola Oluwatimilehin Oluwaseun said: “My time at Redeemer’s University played a major role in preparing me for what came next. It wasn’t just about the lectures, but the overall structure and expectations that required discipline and personal responsibility. I developed the habit of studying consistently and paying attention to detail, which became very important later on.

“I’m genuinely grateful for my time at Redeemer’s University. It is a great institution that places strong emphasis on excellence, character, and discipline. That balance makes a real difference in shaping students not just academically but also in how they carry themselves. Looking back, it gave me a solid foundation and the right mindset that helped me adapt and perform well in the Nigerian Law School,” she added.

In her response, Akinnuwesi Oluwatimilehin Deborah said: “Redeemer’s University was a good foundation for my success at the Nigerian law school because my experience in those five years helped me build some level of academic knowledge and insights into practical legal systems.

“Some subjects at the Nigerian law school were easily understood because I had background knowledge from previous RUN lectures. They almost felt like revision sessions and matched some of my study materials and personal research notes from Redeemer’s University.”

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Shadrach Olufemi Akindele, commended the duo for maintaining the excellent performance from their undergraduate studies into their bar examinations.

“This speaks volumes about consistency, a mark of excellence that we place a high premium on at Redeemer’s University. The performance is a testament to the quality of training obtainable at Redeemer’s University, not only in Law, but in all other programmes on offer at our noble institution,” he said.

He added that their sterling performance would serve as a great fillip to undergraduates within and outside Redeemer’s University to be consistently excellent wherever they go.
