UNILAG graduate reveals her strategy
Adeola Adetayo, at the beginning of the post, explained that she already knew what she wanted from the start, so she decided to take some steps.
She explained that she achieved the perfect CGPA despite many setbacks and challenges because, from the beginning, she knew what she wanted and set out a plan, a timetable that she perfectly arranged.
She wrote,
"In 2019, I walked into the University of Lagos with bright eyes and a heart full of hope. I thought I knew exactly how the next four years would unfold. I had a plan, a neat timeline, perfectly arranged."
While she thought she was going to use exactly four years at the University of Lagos, things happened which prolonged her education.

However, she eventually finished with a perfect CGPA from the university and posted her CGPA on her LinkedIn page.
"Life, however, had other ideas. What was meant to be a straightforward journey turned into a long, winding road shaped by events none of us could control, the COVID‑19 lockdown and the long stretches of strikes. There were months when campus gates remained closed and the finish line kept moving farther away. But in those moments of delay, something else was growing, resilience. Days when online classes felt impossible. Moments of doubt when the goal seemed too far to touch. Yet, with every setback, I reminded myself why I started and who I wanted to become."

"The delays did not derail my journey, they refined my determination. They shaped me into someone who could rise, adapt, and excel no matter the circumstances. Beyond the classroom, I remained intentional about my professional growth, pursuing professional memberships including ACIPM and ACA, ensuring that while I waited for timelines to align," she wrote in her LinkedIn post.
