UI graduate waits 5 years before admission
Dauda, in a viral X post on February 17, revealed that she stayed at home for five years after her secondary school education in pursuit of university admission.
She gained admission to study history, and was on a first-class grade in her first year before making the switch to study law.
"I didn't finish history before crossing to law. I entered UI with history, had a first-class in my 100 level, then crossed to law by 200 level," she told Legit.ng.
Dauda noted that her five years studying law were intense, recounting trekking from Agbowo to her faculty on an empty stomach.
She recalled writing her exams in pain and in tears, and praying through every storm after her father's demise. She graduated from the law faculty with a second-class honours degree. Her tweet read:
"From five years of waiting after secondary school, to gaining admission to History and crossing over with a First Class to Law; to five intense years of Law, trekking from Agbowo to the Faculty on an empty stomach, writing exams in pain and tears, praying through every storm after losing my dad, and now graduating with a Second Class Upper!
"This is it! God alone be praised! LL.B., UI 2025."
