Three students from the University of Ibadan (UI) have demonstrated academic excellence by securing top positions in two prestigious competitions organised by FlexiSAF.
The first competition, Distinction Quizathon, is a rigorous AI-powered competition that attracted over 6,000 participants from over 200 tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
UI students showcased their intellectual prowess with Daniel Adesanya, a 500-level Petroleum Engineering student who proved his mastery of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, emerged 1st and earned a ₦1,000,000 cash prize.
On the other hand, Barnabas Oluwasegun, a 200-level Medicine and Surgery student, secured 3rd place, earning a ₦500,000 cash prize for his remarkable performance.
Also, in the first-ever National Campus Challenge, which FlexiSAF organised in collaboration with the Committee of Directors of ICT in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions (COMDICT-NTI), Abayomi Elijah Olutayo, a 200-level Medicine and Surgery student, made a strong impact.
Abayomi secured 2nd place in the overall Best 3 Category. The challenge earned him a ₦150,000 cash prize, which reinforced UI’s dominance in academic contests.
The National Campus competition certificate was received by the Director of Information Technology and Media Services (ITeMS), Mrs. Abiodun Alao on behalf of the University of Ibadan.
These consecutive successes highlight the University of Ibadan’s commitment to academic excellence and intellectual competitiveness.
