PHOTOS: Magnus Onyibe celebrates daughter’s master’s degree from Canadian university

Magnus Onyibe, public policy analyst and media columnist, has celebrated his daughter Sopuluchukwu on her graduation with a master’s degree in financial innovation and technology (MFIT) from Queen’s University, Canada.

Sopuluchukwu completed the programme in December 2024, but the convocation ceremony was held on June 26.

To mark the occasion, her family hosted a dinner at Muni Robata, a Japanese restaurant in downtown Toronto.

Magnus praised his daughter’s hard work, determination, and resilience, describing her as “focused, graceful, and full of candour”.

He also encouraged Sopuluchukwu to consider pursuing a PhD in artificial intelligence (AI).

“The reward for hard work is more work,” he said.

Magnus said he had planned to obtain a PhD application form for his daughter but thought to leave the decision to her.

The event was attended by close friends and family members, including Helen Onyibe, her mother, and Ebubechukwu, her younger sister, who works with the US department of veterans affairs and is set to begin law school in California, United States.
