Obaseki Offers Automatic Employment To LASU 5.0 Record-Setter, Aminat Yusuf

Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki has offered automatic employment to Aminat Yusuf over her record-breaking feat at Lagos State University (LASU) last week.

Edo-born Miss Yusuf, who studied law, is the first student to graduate with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 5.0 in the institution’s 40-year history.

Speaking at the Government House yesterday in Benin on Monday, the state capital, Obaseki said beyond congratulating Miss Yusuf, who hails from Edo State, she has been “offered automatic employment”.

The governor said the state government had “reached out to her parents and spoken with them”, adding: “They have accepted our offer of employment.”

“I am honoured to offer our record-setting Miss Yusuf Aminat automatic employment in the state’s public service,” Obaseki tweeted.

“To complement our efforts to create the best work environment, we intend to attract and retain the best talent. Miss Aminat, we remain proud of you. The world is your oyster!.”

“Indeed, we have reached out to her parents and spoken with them, they have accepted our offer of employment. She has not done her law school program and her youth service.

“We are proposing to write to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) so that she will serve with us here in Edo State after her law school program so that we don’t run the risk of losing her.”

Obaseki noted that apart from the offer of employment, Miss Yusuf will receive other forms of support as just reward for her sterling feat, stressing that she has indeed given a good account of herself and is a worthy ambassador of Edo state.
