Latoya Roberts, the Best Graduating Guyanese student at the Hugh Wooding Law School for 2016, was on Wednesday awarded for her continuous academic excellence by Attorney General Basil Williams SC.
Williams, who presented Roberts with a collection of the Law Reports of Guyana at a ceremony at the Attorney General’s Chambers, said he was proud to present her with the Guyana Government’s prize for her efforts.
Reading from a prepared statement, Williams said that Roberts, a 29-year-old “country girl,” has made her mark academically through perseverance and an unequivocal dedication to her religious belief. He said that Roberts, who spent the majority of her childhood in Vreed-En-Rust, West Demerara, owed her success to her single-parent mother Myrtle Peters.
