Woman graduates after NCE 25 years ago
According to the daughter, her mother had completed her NCE over 25 years ago but later returned to school to pursue a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree and now bagged excellent results.
She said:
"My mum is convocating today and my chest can’t contain how proud I am. ❤️🥹😭🎓
After doing her NCE over 25 years ago, she finally went back to school to get her BSc and she did it with so much grace and strength.
First class honors!!!!"
She explained that her mother’s educational journey was delayed because of life responsibilities.

Narrating her mother's struggles, she wrote on X:
"After her NCE, life happened. Responsibilities happened. Children, bills, sacrifices, and all the quiet ways mothers give up pieces of themselves so their families can stand.
But somehow… she still found a way to return to the classroom. To sit among people far younger than her. To study, to push, to pray, to persist.
And not only did she finish… She finished as the Best Graduating Student. First Class Honours. Our mother. Our hero. Our evidence that delay is not denial."
The daughter said she burst out crying after her mother told her about her result, knowing fully well what it cost her.
"When she told us her results, I cried. Not because of the grade alone, but because I know what it cost her. I know the nights she stayed awake. I know the days she almost gave up. I know the strength it took to begin again," she wrote.
