A Bayelsa State-born student, Cherish Markson, has been honoured by the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, for her exceptional performance in the three-year Bachelor of Law with Social Sciences degree programme.
Markson, who emerged the top law graduate, is the daughter to a former Bayelsa State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson.
However, this is not the first time the younger Markson is doing exceptionally well academically. Three years ago, as a student of Bridge House College, Lagos, she was presented the Top in World Award in Law and High Achievement in Sociology by Cambridge International.

In a congratulatory letter signed by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Law, Dr Margaret O’Brien, the institution said Cherish scored the highest mark of all students, and was awarded the prize money of £250.
The letter read in part, “You have been awarded First Prize for your performance in the three-year BA Law with Social Sciences degree at the University of Warwick. You achieved a second class, higher division degree, with an overall average of 67.3 per cent. A record of your prize-winning status will be added to your HEAR transcript. Your prize of £250 will be paid directly into your bank account.”
The institution added that with her level of commitment and intellect, there was no doubt that Cherish would go on to do great things in her post-university life, adding that a formal reception will be held in her honour after the graduation ceremony on July 19 by the head of the school.
