Faith Olabisi, an 18-year-old 300-level accounting student of the University of Ilorin who achieved a remarkable feat by qualifying as a chartered accountant has disclosed that she used software to monitor and keep in check her reading culture.
Olabisi disclosed this in an interview with BusinessDay when she said that she has no specific reading method but rather uses a habit tracker app to regulate her reading.
“There was no specific approach but I downloaded an app “Habit Tracker” trying to track my reading, the app would always tell me how long I read for,” Olabisi said.
Besides, she said her mother, lecturers and the quality tutorial centre she used were motivators to her success. As an undergraduate, she explained that it was not easy for her to combine studies with a professional course such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) courses.

“I must sincerely confess it has not been easy but with the help of God, constant encouragement from my mom, utmost understanding and cooperation from my lecturers at Unilorin and quality lectures from my tuition centre, I did it!” she said.
