First-class graduate who left OAU for UI

In a related story, a Nigerian graduate stated that she transferred from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, to the University of Ibadan.

Inspired by a 2019 convocation ceremony, she remained determined to graduate with a First Class degree despite the setback.

Through intense study, sacrifice, and faith, she achieved her goal and graduated with a First Class in Law from UI.

“As we quietly drove out of the campus, I made up my mind to finish university with a First Class as well,” she wrote.

She added:

"I’d be lying if I said the journey was easy. It was not. I read, I studied. I cried. I denied myself of many pleasures and I prayed fervently."
