Her LinkedIn post read:
"There’s probably no “right time” to post this anymore, but better late than never. On the 12th of November, 2025, I officially graduated from the University of Ibadan with a B.Sc. in Psychology, Second Class (Upper Division)
"My journey through school as a person living with a disability was far from easy. There were days filled with exhaustion, frustration, and pain that many people never saw. Sometimes, the challenge was not just academics, but simply showing up and pushing through.
"Still, through every difficult moment, God carried me. This journey taught me resilience, patience, and strength. It taught me that progress may look different for everyone, but that does not make it any less meaningful.
"Today, I’m not just proud of the result. I’m proud of the journey it took to get here. R.L Atiri, B.Sc. Psychology, Second Class Upper Division. University of Ibadan. Proof that grace carried me every step of the way."
