Her statement reads in part:
"As a career academic and daughter of university administrators, I felt right at home, especially as I watched my daughter, Anu, join the graduating class. My charge to the Class of 2026: Stay humble, stay curious, and make your life count."
This came barely a month after Nyesom Wike's son, another minister under Tinubu's cabinet, earned a Master of Laws (LLM) degree at Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom (UK). The minister had celebrated his son on social media, adding that he was proud of the progress he had made.

"Congratulations to Anu and the entire Class of 2026. May their knowledge open doors, their humility keep them grounded, and their impact speak loudly across Nigeria and beyond. FUNAAB keeps raising giants."
