“VENI. VIDI. VICI. Today, I was formally inducted into the pharmacy profession, graduating as a Doctor of Pharmacy from the first set of PharmD graduates at the first and the best (University of Ibadan).

"I began with a GPA of 2.65 and finished my final year with a 4.0, ending on a strong note. Yearly GPA progression: 100 Level – 2.65, 200 Level – 2.92, 300 Level – 3.28, 400 Level – 3.57, 500 Level – 3.53, 600 Level – 4.00. Final CGPA: 3.27 (Second Class Upper)
"I also graduated with: Distinction in Social & Administrative Pharmacy and Distinction in Pharmacognosy. Beyond academics: Tech – Multiple hackathons won, including Second Place at Innotech 3.0. Football – 3× Dean’s Cup Champion (Best Goalkeeper Award)
"Looking back, parts of the journey feel almost scripted. But the truth is, it was built one semester at a time. Truly, I came. I saw. I conquered. Tech. Football. Pharmacy.
"Reintroducing once again, Dr. OLADIPO M. D. (PharmD, UI, mPSN)."
