Covenant University Student Clinches Gold in Commonwealth Essay Competition

Covenant University is celebrating the remarkable achievement of Miss Christianah Temitope Adeboye, who has won the prestigious Gold medal in the Commonwealth Essay Competition. This victory marks a significant milestone for the young scholar, who initially viewed winning the competition as an unattainable dream. However, inspired by the success fellow student who secured a silver medal last year, Christianah was motivated to give it another try.

The journey to victory was not without its challenges. As Christianah approached the final deadline, she found herself racing against time, submitting her entry just two minutes before the midnight cut-off, at 11:59 PM. With her eligibility expiring soon, as she is just few months shy of turning 18, she felt the weight of the moment as she hit ‘send.’
