He said:
“I finished secondary school in 2020 and didn’t take JAMB that year because I wanted to learn a skill and I wasn’t ready for uni yet.”
“That same 2020, I started learning graphic design and stopped some months later because not having a laptop was a limitation or so I thought.”
“In 2022, I still couldn’t afford a laptop but I decided to take things into my own hands and started learning frontend development on my mobile phone.”
“In that same 2022, I wrote my second JAMB and got admitted into LASU to study computer science after not meeting the cut-off mark the previous year.”
