Seven years after an unwanted
pregnancy forced her to drop out of the University of Ilorin, Aishat
Farooq emerges the best graduating student of the Bells University of
Technology, Ota, Ogun State, reports Temitayo Famutimi
When Aishat Farooq gained admission into
the University of Ilorin at 15, to study Zoology, little did she know
that she was not going to be an alumnus of the institution. That was in
2003.
Despite the fact that she was a high
flyer in her first two years in UNILORIN, the now 25-year-old indigene
of Ilorin West-Local Government Area of Kwara State got distracted along
the line. She played the campus love game and got a shocking result:
she got pregnant. It was in 2006 and in her third year. She
was pregnant for a fellow student whom she had been dating. She was
disappointed in herself and thought the whole world was crashing on
her. Yet, she vowed not to terminate the pregnancy.
