Foundation honours Osun student with academic excellence award

The Gamaliel and Susan Onosode Foundation has honoured a former secondary school student in Osun State, Master Ajisafe Qoreebullah Olamilekan, for achieving outstanding performance in the 2024/2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

Qoreebullah, an alumnus of Eeman Foundation College, Boripe Community, Osogbo, received the Gamaliel Onosode Award for Academic Excellence during GAMSU’s Founders’ Day and 13th anniversary celebration held on May 22, 2026.

The award was presented in recognition of his performance in the examination, where he recorded straight A grades across all subjects, a result confirmed by the West African Examinations Council at its Annual General Council Meeting.

He is currently a 100-level student of Medicine and Surgery at the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila-Orangun, Osun State.

Executive Director of GAMSU, Mrs Toyin Olanrewaju, said the award was created to celebrate outstanding academic achievement while promoting a culture of discipline and consistency among young Nigerians.

“This kind of achievement deserves to be celebrated,” Olanrewaju said, adding that, “But this award is not only about one student. When we honour excellence, we signal that excellence is the standard.”

She added that the initiative reflected the values of the late Mr Gamaliel Onosode, whose commitment to excellence and national development inspired the foundation’s work.

“That is the work Mr Gamaliel Onosode gave his life to, and it remains the work we are committed to,” she said.

The award package included a certificate of recognition and a laptop for Qoreebullah, while his former school received a certificate of recognition and a cash gift of N250,000.

GAMSU, a non-profit organisation established in May 2013, focuses on improving access to quality education through infrastructure development, scholarships, teacher support and youth empowerment programmes.
