UNILORIN graduate reveals 5 wasted semesters
Before earning her pharmacy degree, Dr Kaosara spent five semesters enrolled in a nursing programme at an institution in Benin Republic that turned out to be unaccredited.
The experience, which likely cost her significant time, money, and emotional energy, did not deter her. She pivoted, returned, and pursued pharmacy with enough dedication to finish at the top of her class with a Distinction.
Her story resonated deeply with Nigerians who have either experienced or witnessed similar situations, particularly amid ongoing concerns about the risks of seeking tertiary education at unverified institutions outside the country.

UNILORIN graduate earns distinction in Pharmacy
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a graduate of UNILORIN had bagged a first-class degree in Pharmacy.
The newly qualified pharmacist, who now carries the credentials Pharm.D and MPSN, shared her achievement with a short but deeply felt post on X, writing "Alhamdulillah" — an Arabic expression of gratitude to God — alongside the announcement of her results.
Earning a first-class in pharmacy is already considered a significant accomplishment given the rigour of the programme, but graduating with a Distinction places Dr Adegoke among an even smaller group of high-performing students at the University of Ilorin's Faculty of Pharmacy.
