He recalled how he read late into the night and defied his father's directive to stop staying awake past 12 midnight

"I don't have a specific time to read. Any free time I have I just read.

"There was a time he actually stopped me from staying awake past 12. He was like, "Don't kill yourself".

"Reading is not something you just do at your comfort zone...Most times, I don't sleep at night and my dad used to complain...," Oluwatomiwa said.

He emphasised the importance of studying past questions and staying committed to set goals.

Oluwatomiwa's UTME feat shot him to Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), where he is currently studying medicine and surgery, after becoming the overall best student in his post-UTME with a score of 89.775/100.
