A young Nigerian lady named Antoinette Solomon has graduated from the University of Abuja, Nigeria as a Medical Doctor after studying for 8 straight years in medical school.
Antoinette earned her MBBS from the University’s College of Medicine after 8 years instead of the normal academic timeline of 6 years due to several challenges.
Antoinette took to her Twitter page to celebrate her achievement, sharing the reason why her course which was initially supposed to be six years elongated to eight years. She highlighted the lockdown and an industrial strike by the university’s academic union as the main reason for the setback.
She also mentioned that she faced physical and emotional challenges on her journey to becoming a medical doctor.
