She said when she saw her call-up letter and discovered where she was posted to, she was not happy and her friends kept making fun of her situation.
However, the NYSC member decided that she would be going and said that was the best decision of her life because she enjoyed her stay in Sokoto state.
She said: "God came through for me in so many ways! Working with Major Gens, Brig Gens, Colonels, Lt Colonel and other big big men in the Nigerian army was what I never imagined could happen in Sokoto! These people give corp members lots of RAW privileges! I had the opportunity to meet and serve the whole Chief of Defence staff! Oh my, Sokoto has been a blessing! Huge one!
