However, she later discovered that the institution did not admit candidates into her intended pathway that year.

In 2020, she sat for JAMB again with a renewed dream of studying medicine and surgery, but scored 215, which left her devastated.

With advice from a cafe operator and family support, she eventually chose the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro to study Science Laboratory Technology, a course she initially knew little about.
