Nigerian Man Who Failed Jamb 4 Times Graduates With First Class Honours

A Nigerian Man named Hassan Adebanwo is counting his blessings at the moment, says all credit goes to God for transforming me from a student who wrote JAMB four times to one who graduated with first class honours.

Hassan went further to share inspirational messages encouraging people to never give up.

Read his post as shared on LinkedIn:

I am overjoyed and honoured to share with you all that on June 18th, 2022, I officially graduated with a First Class Honours Degree from the Department of Electrical/Electronic Engineering at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE), Delta State, Nigeria. (4.63/5.00 C.G.P.A)

I couldn’t be more thankful to God and proud of myself. After finishing my S.S.C.E in 2011, I applied to various Universities until 2015, when I took my final JAMB. While the victory is mine, all credit goes to God for transforming me from a student who wrote JAMB four times to one who graduated with first class honours. I never had a reason to be sad about the years that had passed. It occurred to me that God was orchestrating everything.

As an undergraduate, I was sometimes physically present in my classes but mentally absent due to financial difficulties. Juggling politics and academics was mentally taxing in and of itself.

This is my small victory, and I could not have accomplished or progressed this far without the support and encouragement of my Parents, Siblings and Friends.

I would also like to thank the students of the Department for giving me the opportunity to expand my leadership experience by serving as President and Vice-President of the Nigerian Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (NIEEE) FUPRE Students’ Chapter (2019-2021) and (2018-2019) respectively.

My gratitude goes to Agbami Medical and Engineering Professional Scholarship (AMEPS) for being a recepeint/beneficiary of their award from my second to final year.

Above all, Glory be to Almighty Allah.

I AM OPEN TO POSTGRADUATE (Msc/ph.D) AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

Here is some Advice for the next/younger generation:
The road is not always easy. People will undoubtedly talk you down; never give up. Maintain your focus on the destination.

PLANNING is my number one success secret.
I implore you all to always plan (days, weeks, months, or years) ahead of time, depending on the situation.
Make alternative plans for achieving your goal, and consider alternative routes to your destination.
