It didn't come easy

The achievement didn't come on a platter of gold for the young lady as she had to work relentlessly to ensure she was given the scholarship.

She said:

"My affirmations in my article on Nature Pays Diligence are gradually manifesting. It is incontrovertible that a man diligent in his work will stand before kings and not mere men because truly, Nature Pays Diligence."

Gratitude to everyone who made it happen

Oladejo expressed gratitude to Jesus who fulfilled his promise in her life. She also appreciated her parents, sisters and mentors for their contributions.
