The Samuels

A couple who obtained PhD in different disciplines the same day, two brainy female students and some distinguished Nigerians stole the show at the 50th convocation of the University of Lagos.

The couple were not born the same day. Neither did they attend the same primary and secondary schools. They are also not from the same state. The husband is from, Ilaje, Ondo State while the wife is from Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Fate and love for knowledge, however, brought them together at the University of Lagos. And because they are both made for scholarship, the two were among the students and distinguished Nigerians that were celebrated at the UNILAG’s Golden Jubilee Convocation last week.
