   OLUWAYINKA  DADA writes on the achievement of  a 20-year-old Nigerian, Osarieme Anita Omonuwa, who recently bagged a First Class Law degree and was awarded the prestigious Chancellor’s Award at the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
Nigerians youths have not stopped performing amazing feats both within and outside the country. With their talents, skills, academics performance and record breaking achievements, they have continued to make the nation proud.
One of such is Osarieme Anita Omonuwa, a 20-year-old Nigerian schooling in the United Kingdom who bagged a First Class Law degree and picked up the prestigious Chancellor’s Award at the University of Reading.
In the history of the 121-year-old university established in England, United Kingdom, in 1892, Omonuwa has become the first black woman to win the Reading University Chancellor’s Award.
She was described by the chancellor as a representative of the institution’s brightest and best students.
Omonuwa hails from Edo State. Her father is Mr. Omoruyi Augustine Omonuwa, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and holder of national honour, Order of the Federal Republic (OFR).
She has been an achiever right from a tender age. While in Nigeria in her kindergarten days at Our Lady of Apostles School, Airport Road, Benin-City, Edo State, she finished as the best KG pupil and had a free uniform as a “motivational prize.” She also won the 2003 Bournvita Award for overall primary school performance at the same school.
She never stopped making progress as in the 2008/2009 Igbinedion Education Centre in Benin-City, she received the certificate of merit as the overall best graduating student in Accounting, English, Yoruba, Computer Science, Biology, Literature, Government, Economics and Foods and Nutrition.
She never relented in her academics even though her basic education was in Nigeria, she got to another man’s country and became the best.
In 2010, Omonuwa earned the Reading University Scholarship Award for academic excellence and won recognition as the overall best in the International Foundation Programme.
In 2012, Omonuwa’s many awards included the Clarks Legal Prize for the best performance in Part 2 Equity and Trust, presented by David Rintoul, Managing Partner, Clarks Legal LLP; Keith Wright Memorial Prize for best overall performance in Part 2; and Shoos miths Prize for best overall performance in Part 2.
She did a day’s internship in the Employment Department at Shoos Miths LLP, UK in May 2013 and in June, she stretched her internship drive into Construction Law.
Now, with her experience, she is an expert in hardcore legal issues including the intricacies of construction contracts and the inevitable consequences of breaching agreed terms.
