A former street beggar, Abdulsalam Kamaldeen Idowu, has earned the rare privilege of being honoured by the House of Representatives for seeing himself through school to become a lawyer and political science graduate.

Mr. Idowu, who is crippled, did not allow his disability to hinder him from achieving academic success.

Also honoured by the lower legislative chamber was Miss Aarinola Olaiya, the first student in 28 years to graduate with distinction in surgery from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.source http://thejuicyblog.com/house-reps-honour-former-street-beggar-turned-lawyer/
