However, there is a limiting factor causing me cold feet when I think about it; “cost”!. The total cost of Postgraduate studies at these schools ranges from 4 to 5 million naira. Only if I’d be waiting for a miracle, I have no hope of such fund. I then began to look out for scholarships and there seems to be a future for me oversea.
