Bamidele Abiodun Earns MSc at 60
Governor Dapo Abiodun's wife had shared the news herself, revealing she had graduated from the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) with a Master of Science in Public Policy and Management.
What made the achievement particularly striking was the context: the degree came more than 35 years after she earned her first qualification, and in the same year she celebrated her 60th birthday.
In her post, she was candid about how demanding the programme was, singling out a statistics course as a particularly gruelling test of her resolve. She also referenced completing her final dissertation the previous year before walking away with her MSc.
"That statistics course tested the limits of my endurance, but through that and my final dissertation last year, I came out with my MSc," she wrote.
Bamidele's Message to Others Considering a Fresh Start
Beyond sharing her personal triumph, Bamidele used the moment to send an encouraging message to anyone weighing up a return to education or considering a major life change.
"I want to encourage everyone who is thinking of taking the journey of self improvement, it's never too late to begin again. It doesn't have to be a degree, it may be a career change or even coming out of retirement to do something new. There is always something more, and I am rooting for you!" she wrote.
She also appreciated her family for standing by her.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that Davido playfully forced his logistics manager Israel DMW to pay his bills.
