A 69-year-old woman, Mrs Kate Bosede Akomolafe, has matriculated at the University of Ibadan. Akomolafe was among the five thousand students who were matriculated into the Distance Learning Centre of the University of Ibadan for the 2024/2025 Academic Session on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
This was made known on Saturday on the Unibadan Unibadan Facebook page. According to the report, the newly admitted student of Social Work is presently a pig farmer who retired years ago from RT Briscoe Motor Company as a Data Processing Officer.
On retirement from R T Briscoe, she went into Baking Flour business as a distributor of the products of the Nigerian Eagle Flour Mills.
Born on 22 December 1956, Mrs Akomolafe obtained her West African School Certificate in 1976 from Government Secondary School, Creek Road, Port Harcourt, but went back to sit for both the WASCE and NECO last year in order to acquire enough credits to obtain a university admission and a Bachelor’s degree.
She opted for Social Work to enable her to broaden her knowledge and to successfully manage her Non-Government Organization, Christ’s Care for the Widow.
Mrs Akomolafe, a mother of 4 successful children, three men and one lady, is undaunted by the task ahead!
She is determined to put in her best and aspires to obtain a First Class at the end of her programme.
