By Ayobami Okerinde President Bola Tinubu has recalled how he worked as a taxi driver and took up other jobs to finance his education in the United States, saying his personal experience has shaped his commitment to expanding educational opportunities for Nigerian children.
Tinubu, in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, said he postponed starting school for several months to save enough money before eventually moving to Chicago, where he worked different jobs to pay his way through university. “When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. “When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.” The president said he understood the difficulties of paying tuition and accommodation while pursuing an education, adding that every Nigerian child deserved equal opportunities regardless of their background or their parents’ financial circumstances.
