Best graduating student: Nigerian girl wins scholarship to US university, school celebrates her

"One of the challenges I encountered during my academic years was balancing marriage, motherhood and education. But I was able to overcome them due to my determination to be among the top 5 in the department. I also indulge in proper use of time. The other challenge is with borrowed courses especially in 200 level (CHM 222, STS 201 and CSC). Most times I attended those classes and I won't even understand what the lecturer is saying. But I didn't relent, whenever I get home I will carry the lecture notes and glance through. I also attended tutorials both private and general ones. And to God be the glory, today it became a success story."
