UI First-Class Graduate Shares Experience
A Nigerian lady, Damilola Bakare, narrated her academic journey as she bagged a degree from the University of Ibadan. She studied medical laboratory science and graduated with a first-class degree.
On her LinkedIn page, Damilola Bakare shared her experience during her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and how she wrote for the second time. Her LinkedIn post read:
"Today marks one month since I was inducted into the Medical Laboratory Science profession. In 2019, when I wrote JAMB for the second time, I chose the University of Ibadan. The cut-off mark for BMLS was exactly my aggregate. That night, I cried because I knew that if it had been just 0.1 higher, I would probably have spent another year at home.
"Seven years later, I graduated with a first-class degree and the best in my department. God is indeed faithful; He who began a good work brought it to completion, despite the challenges along the way. I would like to specially appreciate my parents. It was not easy for them financially, yet they ensured I lived comfortably throughout my time at the university. Their sacrifices made this achievement possible. To my relatives who have loved and supported me wholeheartedly, thank you for standing by me and helping me make this dream a reality. This marks the beginning of a new chapter. Reintroducing, Damilola Bakare, Medical Laboratory Scientist (First Class Honors)."
