University of Ibadan graduate's educational timeline
Kabirat highlighted her educational timeline, showing the public when she completed her secondary school education, gained admission and eventually graduated.
Kabirat noted that she finished her secondary school education in 2013, but could not take her O'level exam due to financial constraints.
The following year, she sat for the exam. In 2020, Kabirat lost her father and passed her very first Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
After an academic delay in 2020 due to the Coronavirus, she wrote her post-UTME in 2021 and got matriculated into the University of Ibadan in 2022, which was followed by an eight-month strike.
Finally, in 2026, she graduated from the university. She appreciated everyone who supported her in actualising her dream of becoming a graduate. Kabirat wrote:
