In a short but emotional post, he wrote that after finishing his last paper, he did not immediately pack up and leave.
Instead, he closed his book, stayed in his seat, and spent more than 30 minutes quietly reflecting on everything the years had brought.
A seven-year journey at UNILAG
The post resonated with many followers, partly because the timeline struck a chord. A standard undergraduate programme in Nigeria typically runs for four to five years, making a seven-year stay at the institution a story of persistence through whatever disruptions or challenges arose along the way.
The graduate did not go into specific detail about what prolonged his time at UNILAG, but the emotion in his words said enough.
The phrase he used to close his post, "SIGNED OUT!", carried the weight of someone finally arriving at a destination after a long and winding road.
