Goodness Azubiike bares it all in this interview with Legit.ng, where she opened up about her experience and how much her school gave her for emerging the best.
Madonna University BGS declines FUTMinna admission
Goodness, who grew up in Abuja, shared how she declined her admission to the Federal University of Technology, Minna.
She opened up about why she chose Madonna University instead.
The lady told Legit.ng:
“I didn’t want to suffer strike in federal schools. I actually got admission to FUT Minna, but I declined and went instead to Madonna to avoid any form of delay, like strike.”
Sharing how her experience was at Madonna University, she added:
“Madonna University had a lot of dos and don’ts. Many people felt it was a secondary boarding school. So yes, it wasn’t really what I expected.”
Goodness shares why she chose Civil Engineering
Goodness told Legit.ng that she chose Civil Engineering as her study course because she wanted to challenge herself.
Her words:
“I wanted to challenge myself because it felt as though only men could do well in that area, and I loved structures a lot. My parents were okay with my choice. They allowed me to decide what I wanted.”
She also shared the study tips that helped her succeed.
Goodness added:
“I gave it my all, I focused, I cut down on unnecessary things, and I didn’t take anything for granted. I memorised a lot. What you feed your brain is what it'll give you doing quiz or exams. I could memorise a sentence up to 20times or more especially for lecturers who wanted the exact from their notes. Don't neglect the power of memorising."
Madonna University’s BGS held leadership position
The civil engineering graduate opened up about the leadership position she held and how she balanced it with her academics.
Goodness told Legit.ng:
“I was a leader in my fellowship, the vice president to be precise. The balancing part, I really can’t tell because it was literally God that carried me through. Well, I had to cut down my involvement in unnecessary stuff and activities.”
Goodness stated that many expected her to graduate with a first class, but they didn’t see the BGS title coming.
Her words:
“They knew I’d graduate with a first class based on the grades I had each session, but they didn’t see the overall best coming, talk more about having a CGPA of 4.91.”

She also gave details of the prize she received as the overall best graduating student in her school.
Goodness said:
“I was awarded a Master's scholarship, a PhD scholarship, and a cash prize of 500,000.”
Speaking about her plans, she added:
"Being a civil engineer holds a lot of opportunities, and I know for me this is just the beginning."
