Agbudeloye Adewole Destiny, a University of Ibadan fresh graduate, has bagged a degree in nursing from the prestigious institution. Destiny was inducted into the nursing profession on April 29, and he celebrated his academic feat on X on the same day.
In his X post, Destiny, who shared his induction photoshoot, expressed delight at finally becoming a nursing graduate after the delays. Destiny, now a registered nurse, revealed that he wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination four times and gained admission in 2019. However, he spent seven years at school due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which delayed his resumption until 2021, and in 2022, he experienced another delay in his academic pursuit caused by the Academic Staff Union of Universities strike.
He wrote: "Finally !!! Congratulations to me. AGBUDELOYE ADEWOLE DESTINY. (RN, BNSc. University of Ibadan). 4x utme attempt. Gained admission 2019. Covid delayed resumption till 2021. ASUU’s strike did its thing in 2022. Graduated in 2026."

Oluwadarasimi, in her LinkedIn post, started with a quote from The Big Bang Theory and reflected on her project defence, which was on January 9. According to Oluwadarasimi, she could not take pictures on the day of her defence because she was too occupied with how to ace it. The UI graduate further revealed that she finished secondary school in 2020 and immediately got admission into the university, but was held back by a strike, which is why her four-year programme became six. Social media users reacted to her post.
