A student of Rehoboth College in Ilorin, Kwara, Ololade Adesina has revealed what inspired him to score 9As in the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
According to him, his school’s policy pushed him into achieving the feat.
Speaking with NAN on Monday, Adesina, who recorded nine distinctions (A1s) in the examinations conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), said the school’s zero tolerance for exam malpractices pushed him into working harder.
“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.”
Speaking on how he achieved the result, Adesina said since his school instills discipline in students and has zero tolerance for examination malpractices, he motivated himself.
”I motivated myself into studying hard, knowing about so many things far from me and reading wide,” he said.
Adesina, whose father and mother hail from Ondo and Kwara respectively, also called on governments at all levels to encourage a reading culture among students.
”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.
