Medical doctor denied visa 6 times speaks
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a medical doctor, Dr Emmanuel, who was denied a visa six times, had shared his inspiring story.
Dr Emmanuel took to X on June 12 to excitedly share his academic achievement along with the challenges on the road to achieving his dream of studying medicine.
For many people, failing to secure university admission after multiple attempts, abandoning a degree programme and facing six visa rejections would be enough to abandon a lifelong dream. But for Dr Emmanuel, a Babcock University-trained medical doctor, each setback only strengthened his resolve.
