“After losing both parents. After having to drop out of Madonna university in my 3rd year where I was studying medicine and surgery same year after losing my parents… After having to re-write jamb and not see any result for the post-UTME,” she wrote.

“Then I re-applied for JAMB, put in Federal University of Technology Owerri the next year and took up Biomedical Technology because it seemed like the closest thing to medicine…

“I picked myself from the dust and faced school squarely, six years (due to coronavirus) of combining medical courses, engineering courses and science courses, 10 years after secondary school, here I am to say thank God for this achievement. I made it, the best graduating student of Biomedical Technology 2019/2020 set.”
