The Herzing College, Ottawa’s top student award has been given to Ernest Omo-Ojo, a Nigerian immigrant who came to Canada to study.
The prize, known as the Herzing College Cup, is frequently granted each year to a deserving student who specialises in a field with a high demand within the college.

In the 30 years since the award’s inception, Omo-Ojo became the first recipient from the university’s Ottawa campus.
With seven campuses across the US and Canada, Herzing College has been around for more than 55 years. Students from all campuses compete for the Herzing Cup.
Each year, entries from various schools nominate their top students for the Herzing Cup, which is judged by a group of about 50 people.
Omo-Ojo worked for ExxonMobil before moving to Canada to further his education, and after publishing two books—The Potent Force of Sponsorship and his most recent, The Audacious Faith—he retrained at Herzing.
Based on his experiences at Exxon, the books are primarily on improving oneself.
