The reports that Nigerians are making waves globally in all ramifications would not wane but continue to expand because of the excellent spirits that dwell in Nigerian people.
One of the Nigerian nationals abroad making academic exploits is 20-year-old Promise Ayomide Adekola who graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy from Cyprus International University.
Adekola, in an interview with Vanguard’s BIODUN BUSARI, shares the story of her challenges, achievements, passion, and dreams among others.
Here are excerpts:
Can you tell us about yourself and your school?
My name is Promise Ayomide Adekola. I studied at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and Cyprus International University, earning a Dual Masters of Pharmacy degree from both institutions. I just finished my PharmD at Cyprus International University.
Which year did you leave Nigeria and what are the educational requirements to get admission into a Cyprus university?
In 2017, at the age of 14, I left Nigeria. My admission was based on passing the necessary 5 credits in my WAEC result.
What informed your decision of studying Pharmacy at a Cyprus university?
During my secondary school education, I had an interest in a health-related course but was hesitant about dealing with open injuries and witnessing patients in pain. Pharmacy seemed like a way to help people while avoiding those situations. I chose to pursue it. My parents recommended studying in Cyprus due to its friendly environment, affordable tuition, and quality education. It was an opportunity I don’t regret accepting.
