Priscilla successfully concluded her PhD at age 25. This feat has made her the university's youngest PhD holder.
The young lady, who is also now one of Nigeria's youngest doctors, said:
“I am happy to say that I have just received a Ph.D. degree, making me Babcock University’s youngest Ph.D. graduate. The achievement belongs entirely to God."
She spoke further:
"Through the knowledge gained in these past years, I believe I can add value to the nation and the world at large.
"A 2-year work experience at Emzor pharmaceuticals as an HR and Unified payments as a Business Operation Specialist, has given me the opportunity to practice what has been learned in these past years.
"Trust me, it hasn't been easy. Having to combine work and school at a very young age has been tasking but all glory to God for being with me all the way.
"I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) is the verse of the scripture that keeps me going."
