Graduate of Obafemi Awolowo shares powerful story
He mentioned in the viral post that, aside from attending six primary schools, he also attended about five different secondary schools in the space of six years, while moving from state to state across the country.
Precious Adebisi Olujinmi, who graduated with a first-class degree in Demography and Social Statistics from Obafemi Awolowo University, also spoke about his mathematics grade as he wrote his senior secondary school exams several times.
His statement:
"From Struggle to Triumph: My OAU Journey. Exactly a month and two days ago today, I graduated with First Class Honours (4.61/5.00) in Demography and Social Statistics from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife - an achievement not by my wisdom or strength, but by the help of God."
"My academic journey wasn't without its challenges. I attended six primary schools in six years and five secondary schools in over six years, moving from state to state and struggling to find my footing. My grades in mathematics weren't exactly all good - E8 in WAEC and F9 in NECO. I had to do NECO GCE so I could combine results for my admission process. But I didn't let that define me. Instead, I used it as fuel to push myself harder."
