UI agric economics graduate who wanted nursing
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan agric economics graduate, Oluwagbemileke Elizabeth, had revealed that she initially wanted to study nursing.
However, she did not meet the cut-off mark and was offered agricultural economics by the university. And when she was offered agric economics to study, she did not like it, but today Elizabeth is glad she studied the course, and she shared why.
According to Elizabeth, studying the course opened her eyes to the power and potential of agriculture, and how it could bring about real change and along the line, she found passion, purpose and direction. Elizabeth, who is currently doing her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, highlighted some things UI did for her and some leadership positions she held.
