One semester away: help Efe graduate from Kano University
A first-generation student, Efe needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, NigeriaPosted Sep 22, 20261,591 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Kano University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800.
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 department head 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.
The payment will go directly to the Kano University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Final term tuition: $310
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $40

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kano.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about outstanding tuition balance, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Sending strength. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
praying for you, Efe. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
what exactly is the $800 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you, Efe. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Giza so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Efe. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
