Joy Abogu, another first-class graduate from the department of Law at University of Ibadan shared how she was able to juggle school with work.
She told Legit.ng:
"I was working while schooling, so it was very challenging for me. I had to find a way to manage my work life and academic life, and it honestly wasn't easy. Particularly in my final year, I barely had up to 4 hours of sleep each day. I was a student by day and freelancer by night. And I still had to make out time for other engagements, activities, and meetings. It was just a lot. But by God's grace, I survived. And most importantly, I have evidence to show for all that effort."
She also represented her school's football team as an undergraduate.
In her words:
"I think I already mentioned that I play football. You wouldn't describe me perfectly without adding football. Currently, I play for my school team (UI Female Football Team), my hostel team (Queen Idia Hall Football team), my class team (LLB 21' Female Team), and my Faculty team (Law Female Football team). And I've actually won some football-related awards such as next-rated football player, player of the tournament, and highest goal scorer, among others."
