Osasere Okundaye, the 16-year-old Nigerian student, has become the youngest chartered accountant in Nigeria.
Ayodele Olawande, minister for youth development,
congratulated Okundaye on the newly achieved feat in a statement on Monday.
Olawande applauded the young student for her “hard work,
discipline, resilience, and commitment to excellence”.
The minister said Okundaye’s academic excellence has
projected her as a beacon of “limitless potential of Nigerian youths”.
“I heartily congratulate Miss Osasere Okundaye on her
outstanding achievement of becoming Nigeria’s youngest Chartered Accountant at
just 16 years of age,” the statement reads.
“This remarkable milestone is a testament to the power of
hard work, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
“Osasere has distinguished herself as a shining example of
the limitless potential of Nigerian youth. Her accomplishment reminds us that
with determination, dedication, and the right support, young Nigerians can
break barriers, set new records, and inspire a generation to dream bigger and
strive for excellence.”
The minister also appreciated the student’s parents for
their support and guidance.
“I also congratulate her parents, family, teachers, mentors,
and everyone who has supported and guided her journey. Their encouragement,
sacrifices, and belief in her abilities have undoubtedly contributed to this
exceptional success,” he added.
“As the Federal Ministry of Youth Development continues to
champion policies and programmes that empower young people to realise their
full potential, Osasere’s achievement reinforces our confidence that the future
of Nigeria is bright in the hands of focused, determined, and talented young
citizens.”
Okundaye’s feat is coming a year after Temilola Blossom
Arise, an 18-year-old student of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN),
successfully passed her professional stage examination of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN).
Arise, a student of economics department, passed all five of
her papers to become a chartered accountant.
