She said: "I feel great. Thank God. When I saw my result, I screamed and started crying. I didn’t think I was going to get that but I knew I worked towards it and prayed for that result. But it was very surprising. The school called me to announce the result. They said they were very proud of me. We were just two in the school who had A1 in all the subjects we sat for."

The young girl also talked about how she prepared for the exam. She noted that she read far and wide for her WAEC and prepared using different textbooks, extra notes with any information she could find.

"When we began the registration, I knew I had to do well. So, I read far and wide before sitting for each subject because I didn’t know what would come out. Moreover, they have been preparing us for WAEC for the past six years. I read extra textbooks, extra notes and whatever information I could find anywhere. Not every subject went smoothly. I doubted myself in some subjects but in the end I got As in all. My parents were really happy."
