Speaking on the course of study, Dr. Ibrahim, who is the People’s Democratic Party, PDP Ondo Central Senatorial District candidate, disclosed that the course was an uncommon one even as he described himself as uncommon person having had nine degrees in his kitty before the completion of the recent one.

“This is the first time it is happening in the University of Cambridge after 800 years. So, it cannot be compared.

“It is not common and the person getting the degree is not common because before I got this, I already had nine degrees.

Describing his feeling as excellent, he added that his performance too was “very good and we came out good”.

Also felicitating with him, the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu said, “Let me use this opportunity to thank the University of Cambridge for the introduction of such program. I congratulate them.

“No doubt, Jimoh has vast experiences in managing businesses like NICON insurance, Hilton and many others but I think this will make the skills better having come here to learn more”.
