To assist his father financially, the graduate of engineering in his valedictory speech at the 23rd convocation ceremony of the university, said he decided to invest the cash prize he received at his secondary school Speech and Prize Giving Day in the production of 150 broilers, which he successfully raised from day old chicks till maturity during the 2013 Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.

“I remember using bandage to wrap their broken legs and a sipping straw to administer medicine on one of the birds not because I cared about their health but because I was desperate about making the desired profit. The return on the investment was used to cater for my personal and academic needs,” he said.

Going further, he said, "I decided to study Mechanical Engineering. Though, paying the tuition of LASU Engineering students as at 2013 (N284,750) was a big task mindful of the fact that two of my younger siblings were getting ready for tertiary education and my father had the onerous responsibility to shoulder all of the financial demands from all of us.

"Meanwhile, my late mother, Mrs Aishat Adejoke Ola-Gbadamosi who would have supported him died while I was 12 years old. Eventually, my father was able to pay the full tuition, while l had to take charge of other associated expenses.”

Oladotun, who finished from LASU’s faculty of Engineering emerged best overall graduating student together with one Nneka Karen Enumah of the faculty of Science as they both graduated with CGPA grade of 4.88.

Earlier in his convocation address, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Olanrewaju A. Fagboun, noted that for the first time, the University graduated 57 first class students.

Meanwhile, a female student of the Federal University Of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), has graduated as the overall best student in the school.

The student identified as Jane Onyinyechi Ogwo graduated with a 4.90 Cumulative Grade Point Average.

The brilliant lady graduated with a first class degree from the department of maritime and management technology.
