”I was resolute and determined to work hard to break the jinx. I never gave up. I was able to do it with determination, hard work, perseverance and consistency. It was not easy because I missed an exam and carried over the course. However, it was not an impossibility. I worked super hard and diligently to get it,” Shukurat said.
”In my 400 level days, I was worrisome, anxious and fearful. I was scared that my CGPA may be just a stone’s throw to a first class. I was so sad. I had thought I will not make it, Finally, when I saw my final result, having made a first-class grade, I broke into tears,” she added.
While in LASU, Shukurat mentioned that she participated in many extra-curricular activities, despite being a top student in class. She represented the university in many competitions such as the (NANS) Inter-tertiary Debate competition, Southwest Nigeria Debate competition, Students of English in Southwest competition and won in all the competitions.

”When I was very young, and even in secondary school, once my dad observes that my siblings and I have spent more than two hours watching the TV, he will tell us to go and read our books, at some points, I was coerced to read. But later I loved it and I appreciated them for coercing me. It is what has built me into what I am today,” she said.

”What is worth doing is worth doing well. If you must go to the university, please go well. Take it seriously and achieve the best at the end of it so that when you look back, you will be able to say, with your full chest, the things you have achieved during those years,” she advised.
