Aminah Ajikobi, an undergraduate of University of Lagos, whose disturbing and heart-rendering slum abode viral video recently took internet users and the public by surprise, is now a rich, relieved and delightful fellow.
The student, who came into limelight recently, is a 300 level student in the Department of Biology/Education in UNILAG.
After featuring on an online TV channel and a report by The Eagle Online in her Ilaje waterlogged slum home over three weeks ago, 25-year-old Ajikobi is now N10.2 million rich.
This is the financial donation gathered for her academic needs and upkeep.
The donation was coordinated after the reports by the online TV and The Eagle Online by Osita Foundation and Video Africa.
In another video, which has again gone viral on social media, Ajikobi in an interview thanked Allah for surviving the trauma she has gone through and for being alive today.
An elated Ajikobi appreciated the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRazak AbdulRahman, over his interest and concern in her ordeal.
