“How I failed, rewrote the exam and qualified at 16” — Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant

Osasere Okundaye, a 16-year-old Nigerian girl, has become the country's youngest chartered accountant after passing the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) exams. Her achievement was announced by the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, and marks a new record, breaking the previous four-year-old record held by Jonathan Adewale. Okundaye began preparing for the ICAN examinations through the Accounting Technicians Scheme (ATS) after finishing secondary school early, despite not being an accounting student. She faced challenges, including failing one of her final papers, but eventually succeeded after retaking it. The accomplishment was celebrated by church leader Daniel Olukoya, who attributed her success to divine grace, hard work, and perseverance.
