With some effort, they were able to convince her parent to allow them put Sisianu in school. The girl performed brilliantly in both her studies and extra-curricular activities.
Otto said:
"Sisianu was so passionate about being in school. She eventually became the best in her primary school class, She went on to win trophies in athletics..."
Despite the ups and downs she experienced during the years, Otto and his team were able to enrol her in a private secondary school. This happened even after she failed scholarship exams.
She succeeded
The Slum2School founder never allowed the over N1 million per annum studies expenses of the girl to discourage his team.
Sisianu did not only finish her secondary school education well, she is now ready to continue her post-secondary school education.
When the thread was reshared on his Instagram page, below are some of the reactions it got:
