University education was not my destiny - Folorunsho Alakija

A Nigerian businesswoman, Folorunsho Alakija, yesterday said it was never in her destiny to get empowered through a University degree.

Alakija said this while speaking at the Excellence in Leadership program organized by Daystar Christian Centre, Ikeja, Lagos:

“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. 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" - Folorunsho Alakija
