Despite facing challenges and sacrificing social activities, she maintained resilience, late-night study sessions, and intentional efforts to pursue academic excellence.

In an interview published on Saturday, December 23, Temitope Ogunsanwo stated thus:

"First of all, I will say that it is God manifesting because sometimes I ask myself how I did it. God crowned all of my efforts with success because I got to the university with the mindset to strive for excellence and I am working hard at that, and achieving this is like a pat on my back that I have done so well.

"I think my most challenging moment would be when I had to take exams while in sick bed and it was so difficult because I was down throughout the examination period. I could not get out of my bed and I just laid down to read my books because I knew failure was not an option and if I didn’t take the exams that semester, I would have had to stay back for one year. So, trying to read during that period was probably one of the most challenging but I just kept on going."
