According to Ajayi, it was the first time he had visited an airport in his life, as he had only seen it in movies and photos.

He said on LinkedIn:

“I have never been to the airport before, perhaps I had when I was pretty younger. I’ve been privileged to see what it looked like in movies. For the first time in my life, I went to an airport and boarded in a plane.”

Ajayi said he took his time to properly relish and enjoy the moment, which he described as unforgettable and surreal.

He said it was also his first time being to the city of Jos and the University of Jos, where he went to for a function.

His words:

“It all looked surreal until I entered the airplane. I couldn’t contain my excitement. I tried as much as possible to compose myself. I had so many ‘firsts’ on this experience. I was opportune to visit Abuja for the first time, and I am also visiting Jos for the first time as well as the University of Jos. My story is that which has been filled with so many ups and downs. However, I know this is just the beginning. I took my time to relish these first experiences.”
