Man becomes first to graduate in programme
According to him, being the first graduate of the course came with a mixture of excitement and responsibility, as he had no senior colleagues or previous graduates to guide him through the academic journey.
Omotoso explained that one of his biggest challenges was navigating the programme without a roadmap.
"One major challenge was navigating the journey without a prototype or senior to guide me. I had to figure out many things firsthand, which strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and determination to succeed," he wrote.
The graduate also revealed that balancing advanced Physics courses alongside Educational classes required discipline, consistency, and commitment.
According to him, managing the two disciplines simultaneously tested his ability to stay focused while meeting the academic demands of both fields.
His second challenge, shared on his LinkedIn post, read:
