• Emmanuel Oluwasayomi Ahmadu is excelling abroad after he finished his undergraduate studies in Nigeria and moved to Cleveland State University
• The man has won multiple awards and recognitions, which dwarfs the fact that he sat for the WAEC exam 17 times before he passed

A Nigerian man has overcome the initial challenges he suffered at home while trying to pass his West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) papers.

The man, Emmanuel Oluwasayomi Ahmadu, wrote the examination 17 times before he obtained satisfactory pass marks to attend the university.

According to a story shared by Vanguard Newspaper, Emmanuel attributed the multiple WASCEs he sat for to his desire to avoid cutting corners.

He was said to have insisted on getting the right scores in the exam set by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) the right way without cheating.
