Patience Jonathan, former first lady, has bagged a doctor of
philosophy degree (PhD) at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education in Port
Harcourt, Rivers state.
A statement by Chris Okeke, media adviser to the former
first lady, said she was among the graduating students at the 43rd convocation
ceremony of the university, which took place on Saturday.
Okeke said Patience dedicated her accomplishments to
Nigerian women and noted that no time is too late to achieve one’s academic
dream.
“I feel that no age is too late to achieve your academic
dreams, whether you are young or old. If I can do it, you can also do it,” the
statement quoted the ex-first lady as saying.
“I believe that even in retirement, you are not too old to
go back to school because education provides the opportunity for one to always
refresh his or her brain and learn new things.
“Let me use this opportunity to encourage Nigerian women and
the youth to aspire to become the best of themselves through qualitative
education.
“I also thank my family sincerely, especially my lovely
husband, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, former President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, for all his support and very useful suggestions.
“I am also very grateful to my beautiful and lovely children
for showing great understanding and love throughout the period I was engaged in
this programme. I appreciate all my friends for their encouragement. I feel
very happy today.”
