Earlier this month, Union Bank PLC called for victory stories ( experience that showed perseverance, courage and creativity when faced with a life challenge) from their fans.Adebayo Oluwatoyin submitted her story, on how she sold noodles and egg to sponsor her university education.
She graduated with a second class upper credit from the University of Ilorin.
She won N100,000 from Union Bank
Below is what she wrote on her instagram page:
Felt like yesterday when all I always looked forward to was the long sessional holiday… this is just so I could come home and make money for the next session. I had to find ways to make money because there was little my mum could do to meet all the expenses for me and my sister… some people laughed at me, some encouraged me, while some invested in change in my business…I sold noodles and egg, and from the little I made, I made sure I saved some everyday. At the end of the three months break, I had enough money to pay my sister and my school fees, my house rent and enough money to last me a whole semester. By the grace of God I have completed my degree with a Second Class Upper in Accounting from the UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN and right now my sister is waiting for her admission into the same university too. Looking back now, its my success story because with that kind of hustle, nobody had to run helter skelter to look for money to cater for those expenses. Just right there, mama’s smile revealed her pride in me…@unionbankng #victorystory #unstoppable #teamunion #regrann #regrann
