Serena Omo-Lamai
A 17-year- old girl, Serena Omo-Lamai, has been granted admission to study in 13 universities in America and Canada.
Omo-Lamai, who graduated from Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, last
year, however, opted for Syracuse University, United States, to study
Bio-Medical Engineering.
Some of the universities where she was offered admission include
Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, New York University,
among others.
Speaking in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Monday,
Omo-Lamai said she settled for Syracuse University because of the
institution’s world-class research laboratory and a $51,000 scholarship
offer.
The teenager, who aspires to be a medical engineer, disclosed that she would study medicine as a second degree.
“I feel very honoured and I feel it is an opportunity to work
harder. I know that I have to justify the offer. I chose Syracuse
University because it has a very good research lab and the offer came
with $51,000 scholarship. I have always loved Biology, Chemistry,
Physics and Geography.
“My hope is to study medicine for a second degree, but I would
love to be a medical engineer. Most of the medical equipment in the
country are imported and I would like a situation where medical
equipment is manufactured here in Nigeria.
“My parents are my role models, but I am also inspired by
anyone who is hard working, anyone who puts so much efforts into what
they do,” she said.
A statement from the Vice-Principal, Dowen College, Mr. Muraina
Olusesi, on Monday, said Omo-Lamai was the valedictorian of the school
last year.
He said, “Alumni students of the school have continued to show
the stuff they are made of in the world of academic excellence. Serena
Omo-Lamai was our best graduating pupil in the 2014/2015 academic
session and she has done it again.
“She secured admission to 13 universities across the globe, but
she has settled for Syracuse University where she signed up to read
Bio-Medical Engineering, with an annual scholarship of $56,000.
“Also, Daniel Obaseyi Buraimo, Class of 2010, graduated with
First Class honours degree in Computer Science from the University of
San Francisco, California, USA. According to the university, he is the
first Nigerian to attain this height.”
