“My first year: In summary, it was hell. I lacked core skills such as time management, teamwork, and building an academic team, and I didn’t understand my reading pattern. After the first semester exams, I had a GPA of 1.75; THAT’s A THIRD CLASS!!!. I told myself this wasn’t my result (lol). I am not this bad. I was one of the five leading in my secondary school.”

She was determined to change her situation

She said things changed for her in the second semester, when she met a friend, Babatunde Olowu, who taught her physics. Olukogbe also got help from her fellowship president, Sunday Eludodun. She said she learned the importance of having a good circle of friends.

Her final year was her best year at the University of Ibadan, where she had a GPA of 3.32. She said she was impressed with herself and extremely happy that she got a distinction in final year project.
