4 Young Student Who Cleared Their WAEC Results & Surprised People With Their Brilliance

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) which is popularly known by the name of the body that conducts the exams, 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, YEN.com.gh will be looking at four students who have performed excellently at the examination.

1. 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 colours.

Government needs to take note

With the rare excellent results the country has been seeing in the examination in recent times, there should be a move towards creating a scholarship pool.

This will help students with exceptional performance to further their education.

In a long Facebook post on Tuesday, November 30, the lady said she was a 400 level student in a Nigerian university with a 2.1 grade when she got involved in examination malpractice and was going to be expelled.
