The school graduated 20,604 students in the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions, with 494 students achieving First-Class honours.\n\nTaiwo, who graduated with First-Class honours in Biology Education, and Kehinde, who was recognized as the Best Graduating Student in Computer Science Education, faced uncertainty before beginning their academic journey. They persevered through determination and consistency, proving that excellence is the reward of steadfastness.\n\nIn addition to their academic success, the brothers received numerous scholarships, both national and local, and earned international recognitions. They also received two professional mentorships during their undergraduate years. Both brothers were selected as Millennium Fellows for the Class of 2025 at LASU, a global leadership program organized by United Nations Academic Impact and the Millennium Campus Network.\n\nThe twins attributed their success to their values, discipline, faith, and vision, emphasizing that their environment never limited their potential. They expressed gratitude to their family, teachers, lecturers, mentors, and friends for their support throughout their academic journey. The Ajitokewu brothers are now open to local and international opportunities.",
