How, why I once lost total interest during my programme, the one-time student leader at MAPOLY, popularly called excellent, speaks on tough and rough road to scholarship
A lecturer at the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies, Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Adefemi Victor Oluwole, has defended his doctor of Philosohy (Ph.D) thesis at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye.
Adefemi, who confirmed this news to Platforms Africa, maintained that the thesis titled “Application of Digital Technology in News Picture Processing in Nigerian Newspapers,” was successfully defended at a VIVA on 25th of January, 2024.
Reacting to the feat, Adefemi said that he once lost total interest midway into the programme.
He wrote; “The successful completion of my doctoral programme is attributable to God’s grace and mercy. The journey was so tough and rough. I enrolled for the programme in 2016/2017 academic session. At a point, I lost interest and traction as a result of unnecessary delay occasioned by systemic problems.
“The study stressed my determination and doggedness to it extreme level of elasticity. I endured so much stress and pain. Having completed the programme, I feel fulfilled and all pains and stress gone. The gain is worth the pain. Now, I can raise my head high as a scholar. I missed promotion on the account of not having a Ph.D.
“Doctoral study is a mind opener and leveller in every ramification. My wife and my children were my support pillar as they sacrificed a lot during the course of the study.
My supervisor, Prof Dele Odunlami, supported me in all ramifications.”
