She said:

“2021, First degree Mass communication. 2025, 2nd degree, Nursing. Beauty with Brain. Switching from Art to Science wasn’t easy but here I am today. My heart is filled with joy and gratitude.”

In the comments, many asked her how she was able to get science subjects in her O-Level to enable her to apply for nursing.

She explained that she went back to write the General Certificate Examination (GCE) organised by the National Examination Council.

The lady said she already passed Maths, English, and Biology in her West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE), so she did pure science subjects in her NECO GCE.
