Celebrating Excellence: Atanda Haliyat Shines as FUNIS Tops the 2025 UTME Chart

At Damilare Aluko Foundation, we are always proud to support and celebrate young minds who embody excellence, determination, and the spirit of leadership. Today, we are beyond thrilled to celebrate one of our own, Atanda Haliyat, who scored the highest in her school in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with an exceptional score of 334!

This brilliant performance places her at the top of her class at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta International School (FUNIS), a school already known for its stellar academic standards. Haliyat’s achievement is not only a testament to her personal discipline and brilliance but also a reflection of the school’s commitment to raising future-ready scholars.

Haliyat is no stranger to excellence. In 2024, she was crowned the DAF Student of the Year during our first student of the year award at FUNIS, where she also held the distinction of being the best student in her class. Her name is steadily becoming synonymous with academic excellence and consistency, and we are incredibly honored to have been part of her journey so far.

Seeing Haliyat soar to new heights fills us with deep pride and gratitude. It is inspiring to witness the growth of a young leader we once celebrated for her dedication, now achieving national recognition. Her story reminds us of the importance of investing in and recognizing potential early.

To Haliyat: Congratulations! Keep reaching for the stars. We are confident this is just one of many remarkable milestones in your journey. We are proud of you and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

To every student out there striving for success, your hard work matters, your dreams are valid, and your potential is limitless.
