The most valuable part of my University of Lagos experience transpired during my third year of studies. Then, there was an inaugural lecture in the second semester tagged “MATHEMATICS AND YOU”.  The speakers focused on applied statistics with its diversities and application to the real world. They made mathematics interesting and more pragmatic by relating every topic to real life scenarios. This made me fall in love with statistics and has fueled my passion to explore the field and its application even up until now. Currently, I am enjoying every aspect of the discipline. The mental transformation that occurred at that lecture has been a propelling force to where I am today and for that I am eternally indebted to the University of Lagos, Department of Mathematics. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to my career growth.
