UI graduate researches about her course
In a related story, a graduate of the University of Ibadan shared how she initially had zero knowledge of what her course was about.
The graduate, Oyindamola Adeyanju, revealed in a social media post that she initially knew little about the programme she was admitted to study.
According to her LinkedIn profile, she studied Agronomy and Crop Science at the University of Ibadan and eventually graduated with a First Class degree.
Adeyanju explained that during her early days in the university, people often asked her what her course was about. She admitted that she struggled to explain it at the time because she did not fully understand the programme herself.
This realisation, she said, motivated her to take responsibility for her learning. She began researching the course to understand its scope, possible career paths, and long-term opportunities.
