Today, I bagged another masters degree with 4 fully funded PhD offers !!! Also officially a two-time commonwealth scholarship awardee!!!😌.

I reminisce on the journey so far and I cannot but say if not for God who was on my side!!!
Should I think of being locked down in another country yet studying for months?? or the sleepless nights and the feeling of not being capable??😫 or almost living in the lab just to get the work done😂?? (Big shoutout to all the scholars in diaspora🙌, if you can relate, please add yours in the comment section).

But I won’t also forget the laughs, the smiles, learning from amazing scientists, making new friends, lab hangouts😍😍, visiting new cities, trying new foods😋, learning new culture etc.

Above all, l am super excited to have graduated with a Distinction in Plant Science and Biotechnology from the University of Leeds, UK. I feel so honoured and privileged to have also got the following fully funded offers for my PhD:

💃 University of Miami, U.S
💃 Commonwealth PhD Scholarship, University of Leeds, U.K
💃 NERC PANORAMA DTP PhD Scholarship, University of Leeds, UK
💃 The John Innes foundation Rotation PhD Program at the John Innes Institute, Norwich, UK.

I am so grateful to the commonwealth scholarship for the opportunity to study at the University of Leeds. I must say that it was a transformative journey and one that has opened up several opportunities. I also appreciate the support from my family, wonderful supervisor Yoselin Benitez-Alfonso, mentors Carol N. Ibe, PhD Amara Anyogu Kabir Mustapha Umar Olu Ojedokun, PhD and friends whose wide arms I always run into when it gets tough. Big thanks to First Class Leaders Network especially Samuel Adeniyi Adeleye and Chinonso Odebeatu for their support as well.

I am excited about resuming my position as a PhD candidate at the John Innes Centre very soon and I can’t wait to see what the next phase has for me. To God be all the glory🎉🎉
