Badmus Idris Remilekun, a 23-year-old graduate of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), has gone viral on TikTok after sharing his academic results alongside the remarkable story of how he funded his own education by operating a Point of Sale (POS) business on campus throughout his undergraduate years.

Posting on his TikTok page, @badmusidris034, the Educational Management graduate laid out his performance across four years and eight semesters at the institution.

UNILORIN: How POS business kept Badmus going

His caption read:

"4 years, 8 semesters. 4.45 CGPA. 37 As, 28 Bs, 8 Cs. Though not the result I expected, but something I can be proud of."

Speaking exclusively to Legit.ng, @badmusidris034 explained that he began operating the POS business from his second year and kept it running until graduation day, using the income to sponsor himself through school.

Despite the demands of running a business alongside a full academic workload, he insisted the arrangement never compromised his results.

"The only thing I would like to add is despite the fact that I was a POS attendant while in school I never failed any course I never had a D E Or F. The least I had was a C. I did POS business from my 200 level till I graduated to sponsor myself," he told Legit.ng.

The daily reading habit that protected his CGPA

When asked about the strategies behind his strong academic showing, Remilekun pointed to one consistent discipline above all else.

"My study habits or strategies that helped me was I read 4 hours daily till I graduated," he said.

That commitment to structured study, maintained even while managing a business, helped him close out his degree with a 4.45 CGPA and not a single failing grade across any of his courses.

UNILORIN: Why Remilekun chose Educational Management

The UNILORIN graduate also opened up about what drew him to his course of study in the first place, describing a genuine passion for how institutions are led and organised.

"What inspired me is Desire to become a leader: An interest in leadership, administration, decision-making and understanding how educational institutions are managed," he explained.

For Remilekun, the degree was never just a certificate. It was a deliberate step towards a future he had already begun building for himself, one early morning study session and one POS transaction at a time.
