Gbenga Lloyd Adesanya, a bright Nigerian who spent more than 7 years working as a local tailor in his own country, received an exceptional degree from Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, United Kingdom.

Gbenga, who just lost his father, was well-known for having put in seven years of arduous work as a local tailor in Sagamu, South-West, Nigeria, developing into a skilled fashion designer.

His brother, Michael Adesanya took to his LinkedIn profile to celebrate Gbenga on his accomplishment. ā€œGbenga Lloyd Adesanya ā€“ from master of local fashion hustle in Lagos Island to Masters in International Fashion Management from Nottingham Trent University,ā€ Michael wrote on his profile.

Michael continued by saying that his brother Gbenga had overcome several obstacles to earn a masterā€™s degree in international fashion management. He claimed that Gbenga narrowly avoided dying when he was a child.

ā€œGbenga, thank you for surviving as a still born, thank you writing JAMB 4 times, thank you for being a dedicated local tailor for 7 years,ā€ Micheal wrote about Gbenga.
