University Education Was Not My Destiny - Folorunsho Alakija
Alakija, one of the richest black women in the world, said this on Thursday at the Excellence in Leadership program, an annual event organised by Daystar Christian Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.
The founder of Rose of Sharon
motivated the audience by saying that she never allowed a lack of
university education to suppress her dreams and ambition.
“If I had the opportunity of going to the university, maybe I would have come out with a second class upper or lower but that didn’t happen; that wasn’t to be my destiny,” she said.
“I would have loved to go to the
university as we all know that university education is good but some of
us who have not gone, it is not the end of the world. Alakija said she
was able to attain her present position because she was determined and
ready to pay the price that came with all the challenges she’s had to
surmount.
