Obtaining a first class degree certificate is often a big task for students, but the 70 year-old said it ought not to be a big deal for students.

“What prompted me to go back to the university at this age is because of my passion for art. All my life, I have always drawn but never painted. I like painting. I can draw but I can’t paint. So, after retiring in 2014, as a footballer, I stayed home doing nothing. That is why I decided to go back to school,” he said.
