Her LinkedIn post read:

"In February, I was officially inducted into the field of Food Technology — a moment that meant more than just a ceremony for me. My journey at the University of Ibadan was one of growth, learning, and discovery.
"Before I got into the university, I had no idea what career I wanted to venture into. But I had a passion for baking at the time and I had started a business from it. So, at 16, I asked myself what I could study in relation to this passion — Food Technology. I didn't know what it was, did a little research and then I put in for it.
"I had challenges right from the start, 100lvl was nothing related to food, but I kept at it. In 200lvl, I restarted my business again admist academic challenges, that year I sold thousands of products to hundreds of people but it still wasn't a great academic year.
