UI nursing graduate shares her story
In a series of tweets, Joyce walked down memory lane as she reflected on her academic journey. Joyce, who gained admission in 2019, resumed her first year studies in 2021 and experienced an Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
Joyce also revealed that she failed a course, wept several times and almost gave up on her studies. She admitted that there were times she entertained doubts about her academic abilities; however, she found people who stood by her.
"Gained admission in 2019. Resumed 100L in 2021. Survived ASUU strike. Failed a course. Cried my eyes out many times. Ranting became my coping mechanism. Almost gave up. Doubted my academic abilities. Found people who stood by me. Made solid friends." Joyce wrote.
Joyce further revealed that she considered dropping out of school but had to adapt.
While she did not find love on campus, Joyce was able to graduate with a 3.48 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in a 4.0 grading system.
In her words:
"Joined organizations and volunteered.
"Held leadership positions.
"Saw intense shege.
"Considered dropping out of school.
"Adapted to the shege. Didn't find love.
"Graduated with a 3.48/4.00. (Painful stuff).
"All in all, University of Ibadan, Thank you."

After 7 years, UI nursing student graduates
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan nursing student, Agbudeloye Adewole Destiny, had graduated from the university after seven years.
Destiny was inducted into the nursing profession on April 29, and he celebrated his academic feat on X on the same day. In his X post, Destiny, who shared his induction photoshoot, expressed delight at finally becoming a nursing graduate after the delays.
Destiny, now a registered nurse, revealed that he wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) four times and gained admission in 2019. However, he spent seven years at school, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which delayed his resumption until 2021 and in 2022, he experienced another delay in his academic pursuit caused by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
