“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."
