After completing her national service, she secured admission to pursue a master's degree at the University of Ibadan.
She explained that the financial discipline she maintained during NYSC proved invaluable, helping her settle into postgraduate studies with fewer financial worries.
Rather than abandoning the side hustle that had supported her during service, she continued tutoring while studying because it gave her enough flexibility to balance academics with earning an income.
Recounting her experience, the lady revealed that private tutoring gradually became a reliable source of income while she pursued her master's degree.
She said she was earning about ₦150,000 monthly from the lessons and managed to save more than ₦100,000 in most months.
According to her, this happened in 2016 when the cost of living was relatively low, adding that transport fare between Osogbo and Ibadan ranged from ₦300 to ₦500.

She explained that she saved every kobo of her NYSC allowance and relied on the income from private tutoring for her daily expenses, a strategy that eventually enabled her to make her first ₦1 million.
