Yadirichi Nwandu, the daughter of Nigeria’s foremost Journalist, Blogger and Social Affairs commentator, Chris Kehinde Nwandu (CKN), has bagged a First Class in Computer Science.

The young lady accomplished the feat at the recent convocation ceremony of Bowen University, Osun State.

A native of Umungwa Obowo in Imo State, Yadirichi was born in 2001. She attended Lara Day Nursery and Primary School Adeniyi Jones Ikeja Lagos and Baptist High School Ijegun, Lagos, for her primary and secondary education before proceeding to Bowen University

An elated Yadirichi, who was the cynosure at the convocation ceremony, attributed her success to the Almighty God, her parents and her ability not to lose focus throughout her stay at the university.

She also thanked Bowen University for the conducive atmosphere she enjoined which also helped her to excel in her studies

Speaking on the feat, her father, CKN, said he was highly elated but not totally surprised by Yadirichi’s achievement because she has always exhibited an extra level of intelligence throughout her school days.

He disclosed that she got admission to read Medicine in Russia at the age of 15 but he was a bit sceptical to let her go because he felt she was too young.

E further said: “She was so brilliant that she secured secondary admission from primary four skipping two classes.

“I thank God for what she has become and would still achieve.

“For me most of the glory should go to her mother who practically was her number one teacher from cradle till when she eventually got admission into the university.”

Asked what her next line of action would be, Yadirichi said she is planning to proceed for her Master’s Degree and also PhD immediately after her Youth Service.

She has already secured many offers from various universities in Nigeria and abroad for her Postgraduate studies. (Adapted from a report by CKN Nigeria)
