Dr. Damilola Odukoya has shared an inspiring account of how she returned to education at 37, nearly two decades after her first JAMB attempt, to pursue her dream of becoming a medical doctor.
At the time, Odukoya was already married, a mother of three and working full-time as a laboratory technician in a hospital. Despite having an established career and family responsibilities, she decided to sit for JAMB again and eventually gained admission to study Medicine at the University of Lagos.
Her journey through medical school came with significant challenges as she had to combine her studies with raising three children, including an infant. She also took a study leave from work so she could focus fully on her medical education.
