He said:

“I’ve completed my law degree with a First Class. Along the way, I wrote 2 books, won a ₦7M endowment for my university, represented @Abuad_Uni at Kings College, London. Received the award for best student in legal practice. Gifted over ₦5M by the founder & school management.”

In an interview with Legit.ng, Rasheed shared his reason for studying law.

His words:

"I decided to study law because my father wanted to study law, got admission, but could not continue. He was admitted to Onabisi Onabanjo University many years back but could not afford the admission fee, and then he ended up not studying law. So, I needed just to actualize that dream."

Speaking on how he won a N7 million endowment for his school, he said:

"In 300 level, I ventured into tech. I co-founded a startup called Trakka. At my 400 level, we applied for the Wema Hackaholics competition. We came third at the end of the competition and there was the N7 million endowment for the university."
