Folorunsho Alakija, is regarded as one of the richest women in Africa and one of the richest black women in the world.
 
The billionaire business tycoon, has now revealed why she did not go to university.
 
According to her, it was not her destiny as she was able to achieve her dreams without a degree.
 
DailyPost reports that Alakija said this on Thursday at the Excellence in Leadership program, an annual event organised by Daystar Christian Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.
 
The founder of Rose of Sharon motivated the audience by saying that she never allowed a lack of university education to suppress her dreams and ambition.
 
ā€œIf I had the opportunity of going to the university, maybe I would have come out with a second class upper or lower but that didnā€™t happen; that wasnā€™t to be my destiny,ā€ she said.
 
ā€œI would have loved to go to the university as we all know that university education is good but some of us who have not gone, it is not the end of the worldā€, she added.
 
Alakija said she was able to attain her present position because she was determined and ready to pay the price that came with all the challenges sheā€™s had to surmount.
 
ā€œHaving put my foot in the door, I decided I was not going to turn backā€, she noted, revealing that when she had to file a lawsuit against the federal government for taking 50 out of her 60 percent equity, she remained determined.
 
The case which took 12 years to reach a conclusion was a matter of determination, she said.
 
The oil magnate noted that she is a product of hard work, sweat, tears, and tenacity, stressing that sheā€™s not an overnight success.
 
ā€œA lot of things have been said about me, some say I sold my way to the top; I remember that the headline of one of the national dailies in the country once said ā€˜Hairdresser given an oil blockā€™. So I even became a hairdresser, one of the many names I was givenā€, she said.
