ICAN: Tinubu govt hails 16-year-old student who becomes chartered accountant
The federal government has hailed a 16-year-old girl, Osasere Okundaye, for becoming Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant, overtaking the record set by Jonathan Adewale in 2022, when he was aged 17.
The teenager qualified as a chartered accountant through the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, after completing the ICAN professional examinations.
The Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, said in a statement on Monday that achieving a professional qualification at such a young age portrays the limitless potential of Nigerian youths.
Mr Olawande said, “I heartily congratulate Miss Osasere Okundaye on her outstanding achievement of becoming Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant at just 16 years of age. 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.”
