The 吃瓜爆料 held a memorable听Award Night on May 16th, 2025, celebrating excellence, perseverance, and leadership among its graduating AUN Honor Society (AUNHS) members. The evening honored 19 distinguished听society members, recognized for maintaining a cumulative GPA of听3.5 or higher and upholding the core values of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
According to the听AUNHS Faculty Adviser, Prof. Abubakar Sadiq听Husseini,听鈥淭hese are students who devote themselves to integrity, honesty, and respect for humanity. They embody intelligence, perseverance, resilience, and commitment to their goals.鈥�
While reflecting on her AUN journey, Dooshima Emmanuel Gege, a graduating听Law major, moved the audience with her message of resilience:听鈥淎UN has taught me to take risks, to move forward, and to stand still听or fall behind, but never to give up on myself.鈥�
Miss Yolanda O. Amos followed with an equally powerful address:听鈥淎UN has left its mark on us. It has challenged us, stretched us, and in the process, shaped us. The pressure we faced didn鈥檛 break us; it refined us. Like diamonds, we started rough, but through heat, pressure, and time, we have become resilient and indestructible.鈥�
The听Class of 2025 AUNHS Service Award went to Ms. Phoebe Anuoluwa听Philips and Ms. Nafisat Ibrahim听Ebbo, while Ms. Joy Bano and Mr. John Mbah Yashim received the听Best Tutor Award. Outstanding AUNHS members were also specially recognized.
The event also marked the leadership transition within the Honor Society. Mr. Israel听Curtis Dike, a听Law major and outgoing president, handed over leadership to his successor, Ms. Sharon Pedro Dimas. In his farewell address, Israel encouraged AUNHS leaders to 鈥� be optimistic; never ruminate.鈥� Certificates of recognition were presented to all听honor society executives.
President Dewayne Frazier commended the society鈥檚 achievements:听鈥淭he Honor Society members are not just graduates or numbers, they are the听nobility and top scholars of听this prestigious听African university. This society builds on the principles that sustain the AUN spirit.鈥�
During Israel Dike鈥檚 tenure, the听Honor Society spearheaded impactful initiatives, including听The Evolution of Patriarchy (in honor of International Men鈥檚 Day), TEDxAUN, and a community service project that helped install electricity at a local orphanage. These efforts reflect the society鈥檚 mission of promoting academic excellence, service, and ethical standards.
