But after a while, Oriyomi was able to get another admission at the then Poly Ibadan Eruwa Saki satellite which is now The Oke Ogun polytechnic Oyo state Ibadan. He finally graduated with a BSC in Mass Communication.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>He Began His Career as a Journalist After Bagging a BSC in Mass Communication<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While he was a Mass Comm undergraduate, Oriyomi Hamzat had the privilege to visit BCOS TV &#8211; Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State, where he also completed his Industrial Training.
