The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) which is popularly known as WAEC (West African Examination Council), is an important part of a Nigerian student’s academic life.
It is also arguably the hardest as it is the last external examination a secondary school student sits for before they start preparing for their tertiary education. Rated in A, B, C, D, E, and F grading levels, getting a distinction often reflects the unmatchable academic brilliance of a secondary school leaver.
In this report, we will be looking at four students who have performed excellently at the examination.
Victory Yinka-Banjo
In 2020, the 17-year-old was celebrated for her academic brilliance after she got straight A’s in her WAEC. Victory also passed other international exams like IELTS in flying colors.
Almost a year after, the teenager was offered multiple scholarships of more than $5 million (N1,902,500,000) from different American universities.
Ogwubie Chikemzi Praise
Young Praise scored nine A’s in her WAEC in 2020. The young girl had the amazing result at a time the exam body said only 65.24% passed.
Many Nigerians praised the teenager’s brilliance, saying that people like her are really rare. Among the papers she wrote are physics, chemistry, and geography.
