“As a result, I experienced some serious financial constraints during my two plus four years stay at LASU.
“In 200 Level, second semester, just because I needed to get a browsing phone and get trained in computer skills, I saved up about 90 percent of my feeding allowance.”
Yusuf explained that she had no hostel during her undergraduate days, and going home every day was an expense she couldn’t bear. She resulted in sleeping on the school premises.
Her words:
“For most part of my days as an undergraduate, I lived in the university premises, because I had no hostel, and going home every day would have been absolutely inconvenient.
“The school had a stand-by security and standard lighting system, so, it was safe for me; my major challenge was having to attend lectures every day in a neatly ironed white and black dress, acting like everything was perfect.”
Yusuf, whose father is a journalist, disclosed that she would start up a YouTube channel to teach law as a way of giving back to society.
She said:
“I will like to use this opportunity to launch a YouTube channel tagged “Learning Law with Aminat" with the goal of giving back to society through my immediate community."
