Ibukunoluwapo Akande completed a Computer Science degree at Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State, graduating on 31 October 2026 with First Class Honours and a cumulative grade point average of 4.75 out of 5.00.

Akande said he prayed on 18 September 2022, the night before his first day, asking for wonderful people, meaningful friendships and a GPA of exactly 4.75.

Over the four‑year programme he held five leadership positions, including President of the Nigerian Association of Computer Science Students, course representative from second level to graduation, Provost of the Ushering Unit, Protocol Sub‑unit Head of the Ushering Unit and Floor Chaplain and Wing Representative in his second year.

He described his final year as the most demanding period, balancing those leadership duties, a chaplaincy role and his final‑year research project.

His research explored a hybrid cloud resource‑management framework that combined cloud computing with deep reinforcement learning.

Akande credited his project supervisor, Ogbu Henry, and thanked a list of lecturers, mentors and his parents for their support throughout his studies.

His LinkedIn announcement attracted congratulatory messages from peers and academics, who highlighted the rarity of achieving a precise GPA target alongside extensive extracurricular involvement.
