University of Ibadan student secures scholarship
The individual, Seyi Catalyst, explained that in the last JAMB exam he wrote with the hope of studying at the University of Ibadan (UI), he scored a total of 330 in the UTME.
Also, he sat for the Post-UTME exam of UI and scored 79 out of a total of 100.
Seyi Catalyst wrote on Facebook:
"When the JAMB result came out, I scored 330/400. That was actually below my goal, but we thank God. That was when people and teachers started believing."
"Before then, I had heard statements like: 'Maybe you are not destined to become a medical doctor.' But I kept encouraging myself and moving forward."
"I later sat for the UI Post-UTME and scored 79/100, which I personally felt was low. But when the cut-off came out, by the grace of God, the impossibility became possible. I beat the cut-off mark and was later given admission into UI MBBS about a month later."
The University of Ibadan student explained that his parents could not come up with the money required to pay his acceptance fee, and he explained why.
His statement:
"Now the remaining challenge was finance."
"We tried our best to pay the acceptance fee first. My parents planned to save money with a cooperative society that would later give them twice the amount, and we would gradually pay back the added half. Unfortunately, those people later changed their decision and said the money would only be distributed around May, while school was to resume on March 2."
"At that moment, I became afraid that I might not be able to attend school because of financial constraints."
"Although I had been positioning myself for scholarships, many attempts failed."

"After hearing my story, he graciously offered me a scholarship to study MBBS to whatever level I desire. It was truly an amazing moment for me."
"I would like to use this medium to appreciate ASIWAJU MUNIRUDEEN BOLA OYEBAMIJI (AMBO) for his support and generosity in ensuring that my dream of studying Medicine becomes a reality."
