UI graduate reflects on his academic journey
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, said he wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) 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.
Then, in 2022, he experienced another delay in his academic pursuit caused by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) 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.”

UI student bags first-class degree
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a University of Ibadan student who finished secondary school in 2020 had graduated with a first-class degree. The fresh graduate, Oluwadarasimi Otunla, celebrated her academic milestone on LinkedIn. In her LinkedIn post, she 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 stated 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 ended up as six years. Social media users reacted to her post.
