Unilorin gets TotalEnergies scholarship
When he got to 200-level, he won a TotalEnergies scholarship. He invested some of the money into a printing and cafe business.
Later on in school, he was an Opay ambassador, helping to distribute ATMs to students on his campus. A session later, he won an ASUU scholarship.
The high achiever mentored many students and also built his brand. During his Students' Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), he taught kids how to code.
In 400-level, he went into fish farming. Little wonder he would then model his final year project on fish farming. He got a distinction for the project. He finished his university education with a first class.
