Another electronics and electrical engineering graduate, who topped the 2025 class, Hammed Abdullah, shared how he decided to study the course.
He said in the Legit.ng interview:
"Truthfully, Electrical Engineering was never the plan. I had always wanted to study Chemical Engineering as I loved Chemistry all through secondary school. Then I represented Nigeria at the International Physics Olympiad in Lisbon in 2018, and people around me started pushing me toward Physics-related fields.
"But the real turning point came on the day I went to register for JAMB. I was told the University of Ibadan does not offer Chemical Engineering. I simply told the person helping me to pick any engineering course, and he mentioned Electrical and Electronic Engineering. That was it.
“A spontaneous decision that turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me. As for my parents, they were supportive. They trusted me and believed that wherever I put my energy, I would give it my best. That trust meant everything.”
