"I knew I had the score. I just didn't have the money. Decagon changed that equation completely."

Pelumi grew up in Ibadan, the third of five children. Her father drives a commercial bus; her mother sells provisions from a roadside stall. When her JAMB result came back at 287, her school celebrated. Her family went quiet — they knew what the score meant, and they knew what it would cost. A teacher forwarded her the Decagon application link. Three months later, she was enrolled at Landmark University studying Computer Science on a full scholarship. She is now in her second year, maintaining a 4.2 GPA, and mentoring two students from her secondary school who are preparing for JAMB.
