Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan nursing student had finally graduated 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.
