"⭐ Spent two years at home due to a lack of finances for tertiary education (I took on several jobs to support my family)."
"⭐ I took a leap of faith and wrote JAMB, the exam required for entry into the university."
"⭐ Got admitted and had to accept it. Then I received financial support from my aunt and church. My Year 1 fees were covered."
"⭐ I had no prior knowledge of my admitted course, but seeing young female lecturers like Josephine Zige (Nee Ukomadu) and others striving in it motivated me."
"⭐ I received the Shell Joint Venture Scholarship in 2019. It was truly a lifesaver because I almost dropped out in Year 3 if not for this. Thank you, Shell."
