“I remember doing my common entrance in primary 3 just to test me and I passed, even if I didn’t proceed because I was too young.
“After exams, my parents would look through my answer sheets and report cards and grill me. This has helped me right from when I was little to be among the best.”
He explained that the University of Ilorin's ‘scholar money’ was a huge motivation and his first set of roommates — my cousins
He added his genuine interest and determination to do well academically also played a part in his success.
“As I mentioned earlier, the University of Ilorin ‘scholar money’ was a huge help. I believe that a good number of people who attend federal universities do not do so because they believe these institutions offer top-notch education, but they go because it is affordable. So, getting that kind of money, for me, was a huge help.
“Also, my first set of roommates in the university — my cousins — put me on the straight and narrow path. I also think that having a genuine interest and determination to do well also incredibly helped me.”
