Can this happen in a Nigerian public university?
Will saddidstic lecturers not victimize her till she quits or she spends extended time on the degree to push her age upward?

On December 16th 2016, despite much doubt and discouragement, Christine Izuakor humbly earned the right to be called Dr. Izuakor. She graduated with a PhD in Security Engineering and became the youngest & first African American at her university to do so.

In the same year, Christine became the Vice President and co-founder of Gen Trend at United Airlines. She was published in numerous international journals, and traveled to 19 cities across 10 countries - all while working a full-time job on the cyber security team of a Fortune 100 company, in which she recently received a promotion. Talk about a female powerhouse!

Her words; “I started my PhD program at age 23 and at the time was told I was too young, too naive and too inexperienced to contribute anything to my industry. But, I stood by my dream and turned doubt into motivation. To anyone who has been taught that it’s unrealistic to dream, I assure you that it’s indeed okay to dream big. With hard work and dedication, we can defy all odds and shatter ceilings. Dare to dream, and be brave enough to execute.”

In Nigeria, one of the very difficult situations students
find themselves in is securing admission into tertiary
institutions of learning.
Hence, the reason many resort to part time
education as a means of catching up with their
peers who were lucky enough to advance ahead
of them.
But there are some people who have been
exceptional in their endeavours and have
managed to emerge as doctorate degree holders
at the early stage of their lives.
A list of Nigeria's youngest five PhD holders has
A list of Nigeria's youngest PhDs has been compiled by

This young intellectual earned her PhD in Botany
from the University of Lagos. Though she had

right from her secondary school, she
acknowledged that having a PhD at her age, and
the record of being the best graduating Pstudent, did not come easy.
