A girl who hawked under a bridge in Lagos has been admitted to UNILAG, and her photos have gone viral on Twitter.
According to the story, the girl and her mother were homeless and lived beneath the bridge after each day of work.
Tunde Onakoya, a chess education promoter, stated that he met Elizabeth in 2021, and she was eager to attend school.
Onakoya stated that his organization paid for the girl’s examination, and she has now been accepted to study Education and History.
He said in the tweet:
“Elizabeth was hawking biscuits under Oshodi bridge with her Mum when we met her in 2021. They didn’t have a place to live but she wanted to go to school so we paid for her exams. Today, she gained admission into Unilag to study Education and history. I’m not crying I promise.”

“Beautiful stories. Saw the tweet when someone asked you why you don’t talk about politics and you simply said “Everyone has his battle”. We’re so proud of you.”
