From OOU, he proceeded to UI for another undergraduate program at UI, before his master's program at UNILAG. He hinted at doing a PhD program next. In his words:

"My university journey was guided by God’s timing, not my own. I began with dreams and plans that led me six long years into Computer Science at OOU, yet the journey ended without the result I hoped for. In that season of waiting and pain, I learned that God’s silence is not His absence.
"When one door closed, He gave me the grace to begin again. At the University of Ibadan, He restored my hope and strengthened my resolve, leading me to earn a BSc in Political Science. Still, His hand was not done with me. He carried me forward to the prestigious University of Lagos, where I completed my MSc in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management.
"Today, I see clearly that the delay was divine, the detour was intentional, and the process was preparation. What I thought was a setback was God aligning my steps. My journey is a testimony that when God rewrites your story, the ending is always worth the wait.” 🙏🎓✨
