Her LinkedIn post read:
"Back In 2018, I wrote my first UTME as a 15-year-old girl with dreams she could not yet fully explain, but deeply believed in. I applied to a university closer to home to study my favourite course. I remember getting a very good UTME result, one that made both myself and my parents very confident that admission would not be an issue.
"But life had a different plan. I did not get admission into that university. I did get offers into other courses elsewhere, but because of my deep passion for my chosen field, I made a decision that was not easy at that age ,I stayed back at home and waited for another chance. A whole year passed.
"Then came 2019… I wrote UTME again, and this time I chose the prestigious Bayero University Kano, to study Law (Common and Islamic Law). Part of this decision came from everything I heard about the beauty and depth of studying Law in BUK. And honestly… imagine a young girl from Lagos choosing Kano to study Law. It was not a small decision at all. My parents were worried. Letting their young daughter travel so far away for something as demanding as Law was not easy for them. But I was determined.
"I came to Kano, sat for post-UTME, and by God’s grace, I got admitted. My name came out in the first batch, right at the top of the list. And just like that… my beautiful journey began. My first year started on a very strong note. I had a perfect 5.00 GPA in my first semester. I was happy. My parents were happy.
"Everyone was relieved that the journey had truly been worth it. Sometimes I even joke that the journey from Lagos to Kano did not go in vain. With such a strong start, the natural goal was to aim for a first class… I made an effort towards that goal. But fate, once again, had its own design.
"Today, after 10 rigorous semesters at Bayero University Kano, with strikes and delays along the way, I am grateful to share that I have graduated with a CGPA of 4.47 as: 📍 The Overall Best Graduating Student of our set 📍 The Best Female Graduating Student of our set 📍 The Best Academic Performer (All Time) of my set.
"And along the way, I was also honoured with: 📍Annual Best Student Award, Bayero University Kano (2021–2025) 📍LAWSAN BUK Merit Award, for maintaining the highest CGPA in the Faculty of Law (LLB 2) 📍 Best Academic Performer, Sui Generis Class of 2024 (2026) "
