She said:
"I have always loved to go to school but I did not have the opportunity (when I was young). Because of my love for education, I had earlier enrolled at the Government Agency for Mass Literacy where I obtained a certificate in adult education. I attended adult education class in 2017. Then, I decided to further and that is why I am here today. I took the Primary School Leaving Certificate Examination at Government High School, Adeta, Ilorin in 2017. I passed the examination and I was offered a Primary School Leaving Certificate.
"After finishing secondary school, I still have an intention to go to a higher institution because I have passion for formal education. Given the opportunity, I will go to a higher institution but that depends on the will of God."
