UI student signs out after years
Identified as @_4thframe on TikTok, the lady stated that her journey started in 2010 and she was glad that she finally graduated in 2016.
She exclusively shared her experience with Legit.ng, sharing how she was advised to withdraw in 2013.
She told Legit.ng:
“I first gained admission into the University of Ibadan in 2010 to study Human Nutrition and Dietetics. In my second year, after I was asked to withdraw from the faculty due to a failed Chemistry course, I transferred to Geography.
“While settling into my new department, there was an issue with my course registration. Although I was advised to drop some Geology courses and replace them with Archaeology and Anthropology courses, the changes were not reflected on my portal. As a result, I received zero scores for the Geology courses I did not sit for, which affected my CGPA, and I was subsequently advised to withdraw from the university in 2013.
“Even after that setback, I still wanted to earn a degree from the University of Ibadan. I continued applying through JAMB over the years, and in 2020, after several attempts, I was admitted into UI again.
“What motivated me to return was the belief that one setback didn't have to define my future. Starting over wasn't easy, but I was determined to finish what I had set out to achieve. Looking back now, I'm grateful I kept going because the journey taught me resilience, patience, and perseverance.
