Student: How my school helped me to make 9 A1 in 2023 WASSCE

A student of Rehoboth College in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, Ololade Adesina, says his school’s policy motivated him to score nine distinctions (A1) in the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

Adesina, while speaking on the feat in Ilorin on Monday, August 21, 2023, disclosed that the school’s zero tolerance for examination malpractice pushed him into working harder.

Adesina, who also scored 298 in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), stated that since his school instills discipline in students and has zero tolerance for examination malpractice, he motivated himself.

“I motivated myself into studying hard, knowing about so many things far from me and reading wide,” he said.

The student, however, said he was surprised and excited with the result from the examinations conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

Adesina said: “I was surprised to see the result and I was very excited.

“But my result is a product of God’s grace, mercy, and favour. I give glory to God for such an excellent performance.”

Adesina, whose father and mother hail from Ondo and Kwara states, respectively, urged governments at all levels to encourage a reading culture among students.

“This can be done by providing well-equipped libraries in strategic places in society,” the student added.

He however admonished students nationwide to continue to work hard and have no mind for shortcuts to success.

Also speaking, the owners of Rehoboth College, Engr. Sam and Grace Popoola, described the student’s feat as a landmark.

One of the former students of Rehoboth College, Dada Omotayo, also emerged overall best graduating student at the Nigerian Law School in 2022.
