Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Sarki Abba, a student from Kano state, amazed exam authorities with his exceptional performance in the 1984 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), scoring nine distinctions.
Doubting his achievement, he was brought to Lagos State to retake the exam under strict supervision. To everyone's astonishment, Abba once again achieved nine A1 grades, leading to the authorities apologising and establishing the National Merit Award.
Abba continued to shine academically, graduating as the best medical student at ABU, Zaria, in 1989/90.
