Ambode announced the gift and adoption on Wednesday at the At LASU’s 22nd convocation.
Ogunsanya who graduated with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.78 in Business Administration, had an onslaught of trouble: losing his father and went under the knife twice on account of cataract, an experience the governor likened to his.
The 24-year-old, who lost his father in 2015, said he had to do a second surgery to remove the defect when the first failed before he was able to make his ‘O’ Level papers.
“I eventually had a successful surgery at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan (Oyo State capital) before sitting for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and getting admission into LASU. I wanted to study Accounting, but at that time the course was not accredited and Business Administration was available. So, I had to grab it. Today, see where that impromptu decision has brought me,” he said.
