Good morning, Gambia!
After seven years in university, Alhassan Drammeh has finally graduated from the University of The Gambia with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (Honors).
In a Facebook post, he disclosed that he started his degree in 2016, but was unable to graduate with his batch-mates due to financial hardship.
He wrote: "I had to walk to Brikama Campus from Serrekunda to attend lectures and return home on foot. On days I called good days, I rode my bicycle to Brikama to attend lectures.
"I wrote almost all my exams glancing over my shoulder to see if the invigilator was suddenly going to grab my papers and throw me out for not paying my tuition fee."
Alhassan continued: "My batch mates went for their Masters, came back, and still found me struggling to graduate. I'm not complaining because others have undergone more severe ordeals to get to where they are today."
Congratulations, young man!
