Osasere Okundaye opens up about her feat
While addressing the MFM congregants, Osasere opened up about the support from her parents, which led her to sit for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) exams after graduating from secondary school at a young age.
"I started this ICAN journey three years ago after finishing my secondary school early. My parents encouraged me to start writing the ICAN examinations through ATS instead of waiting around till I get to the right age for university," she said.
She revealed the journey to her success was not easy, as she initially struggled at the first stage of the rigorous exams because she did not have an accounting background.
Osasere opened up about failing an exam, which she had to rewrite during this year's May diet.

"The exam at the first level proved very difficult, more difficult than it was for others at the same level. I had to put in extra effort, and with the grace of God I was able to pass that first level. Ever since then, it has been success ever since. Last year, I failed one of my final papers, unfortunately, which I had to rewrite earlier this year in May and to the glory of God, I passed, and now I can say that I am say I am a qualified accountant of the institute at 16 years old," she testified.
