While working in the manufacturing company, he enrolled in an institute of higher learning. He would go to work and attend lectures on the days he was free. He read at odd hours. Anytime he could make out was used judiciously. Though he determined not to stay a day without seeing Mercy, the time they spent together was greatly reduced. Mercy did not actually mind because she knew how important it was for him to be well educated. It would equip him to take care of the family he would have in future.
