In his Facebook post on May 19, Adenle expressed deep gratitude to God for helping him complete his undergraduate studies, which started in 2019 when he was offered admission into the prestigious university.

"Today, I stand with a heart full of gratitude to *God Almighty, the Omega of everything*. From 2019 when I gained admission into the *(University of Ibadan* to study *Political Science)*, to 2026 when I’m finally signing out, this journey has been one of faith, patience, and resilience.
"It was not a straight road.
"We faced (COVID-19) that shut down the world and locked us at home for months.
"We endured multiple (ASUU strikes) that tested our patience and almost broke our spirit.

"I thank my family for standing by me through every delay, every sleepless night, and every financial sacrifice. Your prayers, support, and belief in me carried me when I felt like giving up. This degree is yours as much as it is mine.
"A special shoutout to those I studied with the crew that pushed through with me without rest. The all night reading sessions, the group discussions, the shared notes, the motivation when one of us felt weak… we carried each other. You made UI bearable and this victory sweeter. We didn’t just study, we built brotherhood.
"I also celebrate my friend. We started together in 2019, weathered the same storms, and today we are graduating together. It was not easy, but we made it..."
