Her LinkedIn post read:

“11-05-2026, exactly a month ago, I was inducted into the Medical Laboratory Science profession. While the induction ceremony lasted only a few hours, the journey to that moment spanned over a decade.

"I've always wanted to become a Medical Laboratory Scientist. However, due to lack of proper guidance and mentorship, my path took a few detours.

"In 2012, I gained admission to study Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), believing it would provide the fulfillment I was looking for. But during my industrial training search, I noticed that many diagnostic laboratories were reluctant to accept SLT students. That experience made me realize I still hadn't found what I truly wanted 😱.

"Determined to move forward, I wrote another JAMB examination in 2016 and gained admission to study Microbiology at FUNAAB. Eventually, I chose the HND route in Microbiology, graduated in 2018 with very good grades, and was grateful for the achievement. Yet, deep down, I knew my dream remained unchanged.

"Then came 2020. A strong desire to pursue what I had always wanted could no longer be ignored. I applied through Direct Entry to study Medical Laboratory Science at the University of Ibadan—the first and best. Getting admitted felt like a dream come true. But my first year in UI nearly became the end of that dream🥺.

"I struggled academically. My grades were disappointing, and for the first time, I questioned whether I had made the right decision. I considered giving up and walking away.

"Thank God for a few people who believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. Their encouragement helped me regain my footing, and I gave it another shot.

"After then, things got better with every passing level. The lessons became clearer, my confidence grew, and the results gradually reflected the effort.

"Today, as I reflect one month after my induction, I'm not just celebrating becoming a licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist. I'm celebrating resilience. I'm celebrating courage. I'm celebrating the decision to start again when it would have been easier to settle."
