Scholarships and Leadership at University of Ilorin
Her time at the university was defined by consistent academic performance and active involvement in student life. She graduated with a CGPA of 4.41 out of 5.00, and was a three-time recipient of the Computer Science Education Unit Scholarship. Beyond the classroom, she served as Assistant Class Representative in her first year before going on to represent her unit as Class Representative for three consecutive years from 200 to 400 Level. She later served as the 12th Vice President of the Association of Educational Media and Technology Students during the 2024/2025 academic session.
During the ceremony, Kazeem listened to a convocation lecture delivered by Hon. Dr. Haja Ramatulai Wurie, Sierra Leone's Minister of Technical and Higher Education. One line from the address stayed with her: "Work hard in silence and allow your hard work to make all the noise." Dr. Wurie also spoke on how technology could strengthen educational systems, a theme Kazeem said she connected with deeply given her background in Educational Technology.
Reflecting on her journey, Kazeem credited her parents' prayers and sacrifices as central to her success, alongside the support of friends including Aminat Kazeem, Ogunbayo Basit, Abdullateef Olasupo, and Fadipe Janet. She described the experience as one that taught her resilience, responsibility, and the value of continuous learning.
