One semester away: help Bukola graduate from Badagry Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Bukola needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,348 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Badagry Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $500 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $45
• Exam and lab fees: $15
• Outstanding tuition balance: $440
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Bukola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Varanasi.
You're not alone, Bukola. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Badagry.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
Sending love, Bukola. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 4 people at work.
