“Right from my 100-level days, the first semester specifically, I had a target because I remembered while I was in my secondary school days, I did my best and was also tagged as an intelligent individual. And I believe that is something I want to take into my university life.

Speaking on his reading routine, the LASU BGA student said:
“While in the 100 level, I used to cover all the course lines within six or seven weeks. I do a lot of reading and I was blessed with a lot of good association. I was able to have like-minded friends. We read together, I read individually.
“I set a timetable for myself. What I will read in the night, afternoon and when I’m less busy”
