He added that studying and graduating with a Law degree was his dream from right from his secondary school days.
In an interview with PUNCH, he said:
“As a student, one has to identify what works best for them. Sticking to this helps one to become highly efficient and very productive. I identified that reading at home, during the day and night, leaving social media during continuous assessments and examinations as well as shutting out all distractions were the things that worked for me.
"I am a solo reader, so I mostly lock myself in my room and read whenever I want to. Doing all of this helped me to read effectively, understand properly, and remember accurately.
"As far as the reading method goes, I actively practiced and employed all of them during my time in school. Skimming, scanning, detailed reading, and active reading were all a part of the process.”
