A 27-year old Crescent University graduate, Habeeb Babatunde Sanni, has vowed to return to Nigeria in a bid to contribute to the development of the country.
Habeeb recently gained admission into Centennial College in Canada for a master’s degree in global business management.
He made this known exclusively to Briefly News via a WhatsApp chat on Monday morning, June 14. The Crescent University Graduate said he would definitely come back to Nigeria to add value to the knowledge garnered in Canada.
The young man wants to solve traffic
He explained that he is currently working on an online platform to help solve traffic and transportation problems in Lagos state as the situation has become hydra-headed and efforts to bring it to an end are proving abortive.

Sanni added that the plastic bottle recycling project is also on the bucket list to solve issues around pollution and environmental challenges in the state.
He said:
“I will most definitely come to Nigeria to add value with the knowledge garnered in Canada. I'm already working on an online app which will seek to solve traffic and transportation problem in Lagos.
“Also working on a plastic bottle recycle project to help solve issues around pollution and our environmental challenges in Lagos."
Canada is way different from Nigeria
Sanni, however, noted that lectures over there are different from that of Nigeria as there is more rigour in the Canadian educational system. The young man explained that there is always an activity for engagement even as there are quizzes and other activities in the class.
He explained:
“Sure it has been different. There is more rigour in the Canadian education system. You always have an activity that will engage you unlike Nigeria where I can only get to do test and exams only. Here, you have a quiz or some other activity in every class. It has been good all the way.
“Lectures have been wired as we have to study online. Well, I'm really coping and acclimatising well with the situation."
Mzansi graduates are celebrating their success
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that an SA woman burst with pride after becoming the first person in her family to graduate.
Beatrice Moteoli is one young woman who has risen up above all odds and made both herself and her family super proud after she recently became the only member of the family to graduate and secure herself a tertiary education.
Moteoli says that most of her motivation came from the support of her family and friends, who always pushed her. According to the young woman, she could not have achieved this milestone if they did not believe in her.
