What his 2026 WAEC result shows
The result screenshot identified the candidate as Muhammad Nasiru Usman of Government Science Secondary School, Gombe, who sat for the 2026 WASSCE for School Candidates.
His grades across subjects were as follows: B3 in Biology and Livestock Farming, C4 in Chemistry, C5 in Civic Education, Agriculture and Physics, C6 in Geography, D7 in English Language, and F9 in General Mathematics.
While the results showed decent performances in science subjects, his scores in English Language and Mathematics stood out as potential obstacles.
The Nigerian Army's enlistment requirements typically demand a minimum of five credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.

"Three things students should do differently to perform better in the next sitting are:
"i. They should believe in themselves.
"ii. They should be focused and committed to their studies.
"iii. They should learn and read to know and not just to pass exams."
