After writing the exam for the second time, however, he proved himself and was given the accolades he deserved.
The sixteen-year-old Abba, a student of Science Secondary School Dawakin Tofa, scored 9 distinctions (8 A1 and 1 A2) in his West African Senior School Certificate (WASCE) Exams.
“Examination authorities in Lagos didn’t believe Abba made those excellent scores without cheating. The authorities provided a car that took Abba to Lagos in order to retake the exam. Abba was made to take the 9 exams in 3 days, under heavy supervision. It was also gathered that the same man emerged as the overall best graduating and best medical student at ABU Zaria.
After marking the rescheduled exams, he scored 9 A1 (the only ‘A2’ he had in English Language before the retake, which became ‘Al’ resulted in 9 A1) Faced with shock, the authorities apologised and instituted the National Merit Award. And, rightfully, Sarki Abba was the first recipient of the award. -surprises-examiners.
