Former Forst Lady Patience Jonathan has celebrated her latest achievement after earning a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology, Guidance and Counselling.
Mrs Jonathan earned the degree from the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education.
Speaking at the school’s 43rd Postgraduate Convocation Ceremony on Saturday, she gave praise to God and thanked her family for their support, especially her husband, former President Goodluck Jonathan.
At the convocation, she also called on Nigerian women and youths to embrace lifelong learning, saying if she could do it, others can also achieve the same feat.
The former First Lady noted that age shouldn’t be a barrier to achieving academic dreams.
Mrs Jonathan, in a statement released by her media aide Chris Okeke on Sunday, Highlighted the benefits of education.
“I feel that no age is too late to achieve your academic dreams, whether you are young or old,” she said.
“If I can do it, you can also do it. 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.”
