THE IGBO GIANT STRIDES AGAINST ALL ODDS
9 years ago
Na wa for WAEC is a common refrain uttered every now and then by exam candidates who have been subjected to the turbulence of horrendous paper-marking of the West African Examination Council.
One of such candidates is Bakare Opeoluwa whose courage saw him through after having his paper with held five times by WAEC not because he was involved in any examination malpractice, but for reasons best known to the WAEC.
On the sixth sitting, his paper was released and he cleared all the papers. Then he applied to the university to read Computer Engineering, his dream discipline. But this was not to be, as his score was below the cut-off point. That is why he opted for polytechnic education and eventually got admission to study Computer Engineering at the Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu.
But in spite of his challenges, Bakare, who had lost his father, graduated on Thursday as the best LASPOTECH graduating student during the institution’s 21st convocation. With a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.97 out of a possible 4.0, Bakare bagged a Higher National Diploma certificate in Computer Engineering. He also made history by becoming the all-time best graduate of the polytechnic.
