Favour Eromonsele's first-class journey at LASU
In her post, Eromonsele described the sacrifices that went into reaching this milestone, recalling nights spent at reading classes and studying into the early hours.
"The sleepless nights, burning the midnight candles, night class and reading was not in vain," she wrote.
She went on to declare herself officially a first-class graduate of Lagos State University, adding that God had remained faithful throughout her journey.
Her closing words left little doubt about the spirit she carried into her studies: "Beauty with brains and enterprise. I didn't come to play."
