Hear him, I am happy to fulfil my childhood dream.
it was not an easy task combining my job with full-time studies, especially law but I was determined to make a success of it
Most of my classmates were my daughter’s age mate, she graduated last year from Bowen University with a first class in Computer Science
I did not allow the age difference to be a barrier rather it became a motivational factor for me
I want to use this opportunity to appreciate my family for all the support and to my lecturers at the Faculty of Law Leadcity University for making it possible for me to realize my lifetime ambition.
