In a now-viral video, Jamila, who was speaking in an interview about her relocation journey, said her purpose for travelling to the US was to study for a Master’s degree in an IT programme.
It was in this vein that the visa officer asked why she studied agricultural science but wanted to pursue an IT-related programme for her Master’s.
In reply, she explained that although she studied agricultural science, her desire to study IT was based on the fact that Ghana does not fully integrate technology into agriculture.
Additionally, she said she decided to specialise in precision agriculture, where IT tools are used in farming practices to improve productivity.
“I told her that although I studied agricultural science, I want to pursue IT because in Ghana we don’t really prioritize IT in our agricultural system. This is called precision agriculture, where we incorporate IT tools into agricultural practices. I want to go to the US to study IT so I can become a precision agriculturist and bridge the gap between these two fields.”
