          Dominica Una, a Nigerian woman, has achieved a remarkable feat in her family by earning a Doctorate degree in Petroleum and Gas Engineering. This notable accomplishment makes her the first member of her family to attain a PhD degree.

          Dominica’s academic journey began at the University of Port Harcourt in South-East Nigeria, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum and Gas Engineering.

          She then pursued a Master’s degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at the same institution before culminating her academic journey with a PhD degree.

          Celebrating her achievement on LinkedIn, Dominica Una revealed that her accomplishment was the result of numerous sacrifices. She explained that her father, who was a teacher, and her mother, who was a trader, played a vital role in her upbringing. Despite having just enough to get by, her mother’s industriousness and numerous side businesses allowed her to provide for their large family.

          Dominica Una’s achievement serves as a source of inspiration for young girls and women in Nigeria, as it demonstrates that with hard work, dedication, and perseverance, anything is possible.
