Badekale urged young people to prioritise education, saying, “Trust God. Hold your education tightly. Come out with the best grades possible; strive for excellence, because education is still one of the most powerful keys to move from your local community to the global stage. Education isn’t a scam. It’s a weapon. Use it.”

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Plus programme aims to equip scholars with interdisciplinary expertise, preparing them for careers in biomedical and related fields. Badekale’s achievement is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, and he serves as an inspiration to students everywhere.
