Youngest Medical Doctor 2012/2013 Unilag Academic Calendar Graduates at 21

21 year-old Maryam Opeyemi Raji on Wednesday June 11, 2014  emerged the youngest graduating medical student at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, during 2012/13 academic session.

Maryam herself said it was her dad’s dream and though he had departed the world, she lived up to his dreams.  Atta girl!  Read on:

    "It was my dad's dream I become a medical doctor. Unfortunately I lost him at age 8. People around me, especially my mum, nurtured the dream. She helped me keep the goal, it was very challenging but having her around kept me focused. Luckily for me, I finished my secondary education at an early age, and at 15, I gained admission to study medicine at the University of Lagos. Here I am today, I am being celebrated as the youngest medical student."

Congrats
