Engineering graduate shares UI journey
On his Facebook page, Emmanuel Alonge shared how he gained admission in 2019 and the activities that trailed his entry into school.
He said in his Facebook post:
"Every journey is made of milestones, and today I pause to reflect on a few important ones. In 2019, I gained admission into the University of Ibadan as an Engineering student. That moment was the first big step. A journey began with hope, curiosity, and determination.
"The years that followed came with lessons beyond the classroom. There were challenges, growth, late nights, and moments that tested resilience. Each year quietly added another milestone to the journey.
"In December 2025, I wrote my final paper. It felt like reaching the end of a long road that started six years earlier. In January 2026, I successfully defended my final year project, another important milestone that marked the completion of my undergraduate studies at the university of Ibadan.
"Then on February 25, 2026, I experienced a truly special moment. I was officially inducted into the Engineering profession. Standing there, I realized that every step from 2019 had led to that moment. I am grateful to God, my family, mentors, friends, and everyone who were part of this journey.
"Each milestone is a reminder that the journey continues, and greater things lie ahead. The pen rests today, but tomorrow calls for more writing. Alonge Oluwafisayo Emmanuel (GMNSE, GMNIEE)."
