Lady rewrites UTME to study dream course
The lady said the issue of her course choice caused quarrels between her parents because her dad wanted her to study mass com at all costs.
She said she registered for UTME again in 2020 at Onabisi Onabanjo University without informing her parents because she still wanted to apply for theatre arts.
The lady said she scored 199 again and informed her parents about it.
She said:
“I sat for my Post-UTME And they gave me admission. I told him that they’ve given me admission and he should come and pay acceptance fee. Some of you, it would get to a stage that you have to be stubborn… Now I’m a graduate in Theatre Arts.”
