Chetachukwu Mmadudiukor, a graduate of Industrial Engineering, University of Benin, Edo State, speaks with BIODUN BUSARI about surmounting challenges to achieve the academic feat of graduating with a first class
How would you describe your secondary school days?
My secondary school days were a bit fun. I never thought of being an engineer; I always wanted to be an accountant because I was very good at mathematics and calculations. I was in the social sciences class. I switched from the social sciences to the sciences in SS2 because I wanted to study engineering. I decided because of my dad. He did not ask me to study engineering.
He wanted to study engineering but could not continue his studies due to financial difficulties. My dad used to say that he would have been an engineer if he had had the opportunity to attend university. When I looked at my life, I could see it was something I would do. I thank God it was the best decision I made.
Are you the first person in your family to study engineering?
