As a student studying agricultural economics in the university, a very good friend of mine, Fajoye Ayodeji(one time sug president) would always say to me "Adeleke, let us remain a beacon of hope, showing our university community and many others that we had value and the world awaited what we could offer."
I remember I used my time in the University to experiment, explore my many interests, learn leadership and build valuable skills.

I was speaking to a senior friend few weeks ago, he said: "Ade, despite my energy in my 20s, still don't know why it doesn't play out to be good at the moment(at 35)... Maybe it wasn't channel on the right path(he added)."
