85-YEAR-OLD DR. CHRISTY AKPUNONU ACHIEVES ACADEMIC DREAM, SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDS PHD THESIS

Dr. Christy Akpunonu, an 85-year-old retired journalist, has made history by successfully defending her PhD thesis at the University of Abuja. Her academic journey began after retirement, when she took up a job at a university and was challenged to pursue her PhD.

Today, Dr. Akpunonu’s determination and hard work have paid off, and she can proudly wear her “crown” of a PhD degree. “Her story is one of determination and grace of God,” she said. Dr. Akpunonu’s achievement is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit. Congratulations to her on this remarkable milestone!
