Even in the face of uncertainties and tales of corruption and insecurities, Nigerian girl Christy Isaac Izoya yesterday shone like a million stars as overall best student in a Polish university.

It was at the convocation of Poznan University of Life Sciences Poland where the Edo state born student was honored As The Best In Outstanding Academic Achievement.

Christy had her first degree in Soil science at University of Benin before proceeding for her masters degree in Europe. When her name was called out, it was a huge uproar in the hall where her academic successes were acknowledged by her fellow students and faculty staff.

Her elated father Isaac Izoya who attended the event could not control his emotion of happiness and summed it up thus: “I was shocked when my daughter’s name rang out of the speakers as best student with a thunderous ovation from all corners of the hall. I give God all the thanks. Christy has always been a book worm embedded in books always having no time for any other things. She is even not tired yet. I pray God continues to reward her”(Daily Independent)
