According to TheNetwork, Jones-Wonni was the youngest in the class having put up a superlative record breaking performance at the age of 22 as the valedictorian of the prestigious institution.

As her mother, Mrs Wonni, a senior judicial officer told the Network, Jones Wonni’s sustenance of excellence in academic is not just a product of her academic capacity but a unique quality and discipline to focus on set objectives.

Interestingly, when the young lady’s gaze is focused on something, the number one position is always the target.
