He added that social media platforms have been an important tool he also used in the course of his studies at the university, noting "It is very useful if used in the right way just like I did and will continue to”.
He stated thus:
“I wake up at 3 a.m. most days of the week going through what we have done in school; I do walk up to my lectures to seek clarifications in areas I feel are unclear to me. After that, I will go back to reading and read again.”

She added that aside from God, one of the major things that made her stand out among her peers in school was self-discipline.
