According to her, there is a need for students to prepare well and also to pray if they intend to pass the examination.
She said:
“I just wrote jamb today and these are my candid advice for those that have not written and those that are probably willing to write next year. Make sure you read to understand, don’t just read or cram, understand what you are reading and put them to practice.”
