Salmanu Isa Musa, a student of Premiere Academy, who recorded nine A1s
in the recently released West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) may be in contention as one of the overall best student in the 2023 West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The science student led the pack of other students of Premiere Academy, located in the Lugbe Area of Abuja with a trailblazing result that has received wide accolades, as their academic conquest has brought about recognition for their outstanding achievement of the high school.
Speaking at a media briefing to unveil the 2023 WASSCE Results of the School, Director, Academics & Administration, Mr. Chris Akinsowon, disclosed that apart from the brilliant performances in the WASSCE, not less than sixteen (16) students of the School that sat the 2023 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations scored above 300, adding that honest pursuit of academic excellence is an ingrained tradition of the School.
He, however, reveals that two students, Golit Gordon Golu and Alamina Daniel Sopriye, had 8 A1s and one B in the Sciences. While, three other students scored A1 in seven subjects and B in the other two, additional four students scored A1 in seven subjects and C in the remaining two.
It was revealed that the eye-catching 2023 record of producing ten students with A1 galore in WASSCE brings back the memory of the outstanding performance of the school in the 2022 edition, where ten students also scored at least six A1s and above in nine subjects.
Akinsowon added that, the outstanding performance of Master Salmanu Isa Musa is coming on the heels of a similar feat recorded in the 2020 results by another Science student of the school, Miss Ulan Andrew Sylvia, which led to the government of Plateau State hosting her at a special commemorative Executive Council sitting in appreciation of her bringing honour to her state of origin.
According to him, “Premiere Academy takes immense pride in fostering an environment that encourages holistic development and commitment to imparting quality education through the combined efforts of our dedicated teachers, supportive staff, and the pivotal commendable role of parents, partners, and guardians who, through guidance and encouragement, continue to help our students find their academic journey rewarding and enjoyable in our system”.
While noting that the school, which was established in 2005 with the mission to produce all-rounded, well-adjusted, socially aware, and responsible students who will grow up to become the pride of the nation in different areas of endeavor, has remained unwavering in ensuring that its students are guided and shaped by the standards of critical thinking, ethical principles, discipline and pursuit of high achievements.
“The range of our curriculum and co-curricular provisions are designed in appreciation of the diversity of our student population profile. This foundational philosophy of the school allows our students to exhibit their talents and potentials to the fullest spectrum, thereby pushing themselves beyond ordinary limits in their commitment to academic excellence”, he enthused.
“Recording outstanding performances by students of the school has been consistent across WAEC, SAT, and JAMB examinations over the years. This remarkable consistency and the commendable upright and dedicated process that produces the results go a long way in proving that the Premiere Academy model is a great blessing for the kids as they aspire to become great future leaders and inspiration to their peers”, he stated.
