Osasere Okundaye emerges Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant
Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant, Osasere Okundaye, has said the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is not excessively difficult to pass, arguing that the quality of education available to students has a greater impact on performance than lowering admission standards.
Okundaye, a 16-year-old, spoke during an interview on ARISE Television on Sunday.
She was commenting on the ongoing debate over JAMB performance, admission cut-off marks, and standard of education in the country.
The teenager, who recently became Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant after qualifying through the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, said she had written UTME twice and believed students could perform well if they received quality education and adequate support.
