UNILAG graduate breaks family record
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a graduate of UNILAG identified as Oluwadamilola Osikomaiya Adeshola had broken a record in her family's history.
In a story shared on LinkedIn, Oluwadamilola disclosed that she got admitted into UNILAG in 2019 and struggled to cope, and was sad in her first year because she is an introvert and the first child in her family. She said she had no one to look up to at the time except for God and her family.
The Nigerian lady also said that she had health challenges after the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that her first year was filled with tears and silent prayers. However, life got better as time went on, as she grew closer to her coursemates and began attending her faculty fellowship, which she is so grateful for. The Mass Communication graduate further said she discovered her writing and marketing passion while on campus and started her bedding business in year two.
