Why Computer Science?
Good question! I have had a mystic attraction to computers ever since I was a child. I’ve always been interested in math and solving puzzles. In my senior year of secondary school, I had the opportunity to work as the computer laboratory attendant. At the time I started understanding how computers operate on a very detailed level, the fire in me started burning to the extent that my passion for computer grown to the apex.

When I gained admission in the University of Nigeria to study Computer Science, I came to realize that it challenges me not only academically, but to think analytically, to be innovative, as well as to have the ability to discuss and describe my work for another person to understand. I just really love writing code.
