15years WAEC record breaker who obtained 9A1s in the May/June 2017 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Ikeoluwa Abioye appeal for state scholarship in Osun state.

Ikeoluwa Abioye, who is Osun State indigene with examination number 4251025002 recorded 9A1s in Civic Education, English Language, Further Mathematics, General Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Studies and Catering Craft Practice. And also scored 305 in the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and disclosed that she wants to study Computer Engineering at the University of Ilorin stressing ‘’I will have preferred to study at MIT or Harvard University but I need financial support.

The ingenious Ikeoluwa has appealed to Osun State Governor Ogbeni Rauf Arebesola to emulate from other state governors by fostering the education spirit in the youths by university scholarship award. 

She said ‘’I wish that my achievement will be recognized by my state. I want the governor to emulate Katsina and Enugu governors that awarded university scholarship to Ali Cynthia Chinecherem and, two wizkid from the two states that also obtained 9A1 in the same examination.

Abioye, who was a former student of Starfield Private College, Iju, Lagos told The Education Report that she set target for herself in the school examination and worked hard to attain the good result.

She said that, she I give glory to God for achieving this academic feat. I read to understand the subjects. I always read even when I am not preparing for examination. When I read, I don’t cram. I play a lot with friends and also read together.

‘’Competition from my peers also spurs me to do well. I actually targeted to make A1 in nine subjects. I knew past students made 9A1, so I was determined to achieve same result. I am not a book worm but my classmates call me that name.

‘’I didn’t know about the result. It was my Biology teacher that told me when I came to read for my National Examinations Council (NECO). I was happy when the teacher informed me. My colleagues with me were happy about my result too.”
