She mentioned the exact CGPA she got in her very first semester at the university, which made her teary and sad.

She explained:

"But this is not just a convocation post; it is a testimony of God's grace, growth, grit, and community.
"I still remember my very first semester result: 2.57/5.00. I couldn’t even bring myself to show my dad. I cried. I was afraid of being a disappointment, afraid of being scolded. Instead, he looked at me and said, ‘Everything will be fine. You’re just starting. You can do it.’ Those words stayed with me."

In order to avoid a repeat of her first-semester experience, she explained what she consistently did to improve her CGPA and mentioned the grade she graduated with.

"I joined communities. I served. I learned leadership beyond the classroom. I found a global family in AIESEC, where I held multiple roles, led initiatives, worked with diverse teams, traveled across several states in Nigeria and beyond, and learned what it truly means to create impact."
"I grew professionally too; I actively built my CV while building my capacity."
"UNILAG gave me more than lectures and exams. It gave me friendships, leadership lessons, eye bags from late nights, resilience, purpose, and memories that money cannot buy."
"I am deeply grateful to my family, my friends, and my communities for building me. And to God, for strength when mine ran out."
"Moving on, I am open to internship opportunities, and I am excited about building solutions, contributing meaningfully, and becoming even better than the version that just graduated."
