One semester away: help Ikenna graduate from Lagos Community College
Ikenna has worked and saved for five years to study an agriculture degree; a $500 gap now stands between him and graduation.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,205 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Lagos Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant 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 distinction average, and my academic advisor 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:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $155
• Final term tuition: $280
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $25

Stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Juazeiro do Norte this morning!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Rooting for you, Ikenna. Looking forward to the next update.
sending love, Ikenna. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City!
