Overview

A couple, Mr Olawale Olulaja and his wife, Blessing Chigozie, were among the graduands at the just-concluded convocation of the University of Lagos, completing their programmes through the Distance Learning Institute.

While the husband was a graduate of Business Administration, the wife graduated from the Department of Accountancy for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The duo, in a conversation with The PUNCH,spoke about how they overcame the demands of marriage, parenthood, and years of academic disruptions, and graduated at the same time.

Olawale, a graduate of Business Administration, said he began the programme before his wife but could not complete it as scheduled due to outstanding courses.
