MBBS 7th Induction: Best Graduating Student
I’m from a Muslim family but coming into Bowen University, I got to experience God in different ways and that helped me in my journey of 7 years and 9 months.
I also got the gift of friendships, mentorship and good relationships, the gift of people basically.
I just want someone out there to know that whatever you put your mind to, you can accomplish once you work hard, have positive affirmations and trust God.
