Redeemer’s University Lecturer Earns Second Master’s Degree at 25, Graduates with Perfect 5.0 GPA

At 25, Oluwatomisin Okeniyi, an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Business Administration and Marketing at Redeemer’s University, has reached another significant academic milestone by earning a Master of Public Policy (MPA) from Miva Open University with a perfect 5.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

Her exceptional performance placed her among the institution’s top graduating students and came just one year after she graduated with distinction in her Master’s degree in Marketing from Redeemer’s University at the age of 24. The latest achievement further reflects a pattern of academic excellence that has defined her educational journey.

Okeniyi’s path began at Redeemer’s University, where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the age of 20 with a Second Class Upper Division. Rather than stopping there, she continued to pursue higher academic goals, first earning a distinction in Marketing before expanding her expertise through postgraduate studies in Public Policy.

Alongside her studies, she has continued to serve as an Assistant Lecturer at Redeemer’s University while also pursuing an ongoing doctoral programme. She said balancing these responsibilities required discipline, resilience and effective time management, adding that the university’s supportive academic environment played a major role in helping her succeed.

Reflecting on her journey, Okeniyi said, “BSc at 20, MSc at 24, MPA at 25, and praying for a PhD by 28,” describing a progression that highlights both her achievements and future aspirations.

She also expressed appreciation for the encouragement she received from her family, noting that celebrating the milestone with her father and brother made the occasion even more meaningful. She further acknowledged her faith as a constant source of strength throughout her academic journey.

With two master’s degrees already completed, Okeniyi is now focused on attaining a PhD before the age of 28 while continuing to pursue research, academic conferences and other professional opportunities that will contribute to her growth as a scholar and educator.
