Linus Victor Anyanna of the Department of Geological sciences has emerged as the overall best graduating student for the 2018/2019 academic session with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.89 out of 5.0. at the Federal University Gusau.
His comprehensive research on the geochemistry of Ungwan Kwabo in Katsina State demonstrated advanced analytical skills and provides valuable insights to the geological understanding of the region. Through meticulous sampling techniques and advanced geochemical analysis, Anyanna’s research provided crucial data on mineral composition and soil characteristics that could have significant implications for agricultural and mining activities in the area.
His work included comprehensive analysis of rock formations, mineral deposits, and structural features that characterized the Ungwan Kwabo region.
In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Linus Victor Anyanna was awarded multiple prestigious honors:
- Professor Afekhena Jerome’s prize for Overall Best Graduating Student 2018/2019 Session
- Professor Kabiru Abdullahi’s Prize for the Overall Best Graduating Student in Science
- Professor U. A. Dabatta’s prize for the Best Graduating Student in Geology
Beyond his academic achievements, Anyanna’s research has practical applications in mineral exploration and environmental assessment. His detailed analysis of the geochemical composition of Ungwan Kwabo has provided valuable baseline data for future environmental monitoring and mineral prospecting in the region. The study incorporated advanced analytical techniques including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectrometry to characterize the chemical composition of soil and rock samples.
The Registrar and Management of Federal University Gusau have recognized these achievements as exemplary, noting that Anyanna’s work represents the high standards of academic excellence and practical expertise that the university strives to instill in its students. His achievements serve as an inspiration to current and future students in the geological sciences program.
