Another young man, Hassan Toheeb who graduated with first class told Legit.ng how he was able to set high standards for himself:

"It was not easy if you ask me. My undergraduate years were without my parents. I lost my mother in 2015 and this was an eyeopener event for me because I lost my favorite person. My guardian called me on the day I wanted to resume to school as a new student, he reminded me that my father wasn’t in Ilorin and my mother was dead. I should know what I am going to school for. This pushed me. It was not easy, especially whenever our exams are looming, I do fall sick out of anxiety and I didn’t want to disappoint my old father who has been coming through for me with his pension. My 300l was the hardest because I nursed typhoid throughout that session, but was my best year as an undergraduate student. And yes, I didn’t fail any course throughout my undergraduate years and postgraduate year too."
