Amina opens up on expectation
She said that one of the reasons she was doubtful was because of her hijab, which she thought might limit her recognition and acceptance in the society.
However, she also remembered that one of her lecturers had advised her to focus on excellence and that public support would follow regardless of her religious attire.
She said that the overwhelming support and congratulations she got from many people changed her perception of Nigeria.
She also said that she had planned to leave the country after completing her degree, but now she has decided to stay and contribute to its development.
Setting up a Youtube channel
One of the ways she wants to do that is by setting up a YouTube channel where she would teach law and explain some of the complex terms.
She said that she hopes to inspire and educate young Nigerians who are interested in law and justice.
She also thanked her parents, teachers and friends for their guidance and encouragement throughout her academic journey.
