The governor noted that it is unusual for a university visitor to attend the first day of university convocation where first degrees are awarded; hence, he said the day must have been divinely obtained.

He stated: “But I don’t know why I decided to come. This confirms that there is a divine side to the story. The story of the best graduating student is too compelling to ignore. It makes me reflect my own background too; therefore, I hereby adopt him.”

Ogunsanya expressed appreciation for the governor’s gesture, and resolved to make good use of the financial gift and scholarship offered to him.
