25-year-old emerges youngest Ph.D holder in Babcock Varsity

*Opeyemi with her parents
The story of how she was successfully awarded a doctorate degree in Business Information, at 25, will forever linger in the hearts of Opeyemi Deborah Sodipe, an illustrious daughter  of Ake in Abeokuta-South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
It was at the 10th convocation ceremony of Babcock University (BU), Ilisan-Remo, Ogun State, held on  Sunday. As early as 9.00am, the
university’s Stadium Complex was  filled to the brim with the crème de la crème of Ogun State, the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA), management and staff of BU, parents, students, families, friends, well-wishers and guests who came from within and across the country.
Words of encomium were showered on Opeyemi. She also received handshakes from the President/Vice Chancellor, BU, Prof. Kayode Makinde; and Benjamin Carson (Snr.), foremost paediatric and neurosurgeon, who was the first doctor to successfully operate on Siamese twins.
Born on August 14, 1986 in Ibadan where her parents live, Opeyemi is the third in a family of four of Mr. David and Mrs. Deborah Sodipe, accountant and teacher respectively.
She attended Omolara Nursery & Primary School, Ibadan, where she had her First School Leaving Certificate (Common Entrance) in 1996. From there, she proceeded to King’s International College, Moniya, Ibadan, where she finished  in 2002.
Opeyemi attended Babcock University where she had her bachelor’s degree in Information Resources Management (BIRM) between 2002-2006. She had her master’s degree in Information Science (M.Inf.Sc.) at the University of Ibadan, between 2007-2010.
Opeyemi returned to Babcock for her Ph.D in Information Resources Management, majoring in Business Information Management between 2010-2012.
