A Nigerian student has revealed his motivation, having scored 9 distinctions (A’s) in the recently concluded West African Senior School Certification Examination, WASSCE
The young boy, who happens to be a student of Rehoboth College in Ilorin, Kwara, Ololade Adesina, revealed that his school’s policy pushed him into achieving the feat.
According to him, the school’s zero tolerance for exam malpractices pushed him into working harder.
He said this while speaking with NAN on Monday.
In his words;
“I was surprised to see the result and I was very excited,” said Adesina, who also scored 298 in the last examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
“But my result is a product of God’s grace, mercy, and favour. I give glory to God for such an excellent performance.”
”I motivated myself into studying hard, knowing about so many things far from me and reading wide,” he said.
Adesina, whose parents are from Ondo and Kwara, respectively, has also urged governments at all levels to promote a reading culture among pupils.
”This can be done by providing well-equipped libraries in strategic places in the society,” he said.
He also admonished students nationwide to continue to work hard and have no mind for shortcuts to success.
Adesina scored distinctions in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and four other subjects.
