Her son named Chima Onwumere took to Facebook to make the announcement as he celebrated his mum.
He narrated how his mum had rung him sometime last year informing him of her intent to return to school as she didn't get the opportunity to do so earlier because she married young. Plus, she had to direct her attention to her family and her children's future.
