A'Ibom teen with nine As receives $1,000 from WASSCE

 Master Valour Mbre-Inyang, 16, received a monetary award of $1000 from the administration of Topfaith International Secondary School Mkpatak in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State for his outstanding performance in the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination. Mbre-Inyang obtained all nine A1 grades in the WAESSC results, an accomplishment that has never before been accomplished since the institution's founding 20 years ago. During a ceremony on Monday in the school, Dr. Emmanuel Abraham, the chairman of the institution's board of governors, presented the winner with their medal and praised them for making the school proud. The accomplishments, according to Abraham, could not have occurred at a better moment than at the institution's 20th anniversary. He clarified that the board of governors established a $1,000 award for any student who achieved an unmatched A1 in the courses they registered for in the WASSCE, adding that the goal was to motivate the students to perform above expectations in their WASSCE.

According to him, many Topfaith students over the years came close to winning the title by earning eight A1s but falling short of one to take home the cash prize. He commended Mbre-Inyang for his accomplishments, including earning all A-stars (A*s) on the Cambridge GCE in the five courses he took, 343 out of 400 on the JAMB-UTME, 1480 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and 8 out of 9 on the International English Language Test System. He took advantage of the occasion to encourage the student participants to imitate the recipient, noting that Master Inyang had received a tuition-free academic excellence Scholarship from Topfaith for his six years of study there, which was established by the institution for the top students in each of the classes from JS1 to SS3. He urged the pupils to emulate the same perseverance that had allowed the prizewinner to accomplish all of his or her exploits and to graduate as the class valedictorian in 2022.

He expressed his gratitude to the school's administration and staff for their diligence and concern for the children, which helped to further the realization of the Topfaith dream and philosophy of nurturing for global relevance. When welcoming all the guests earlier, the institution's principal, Mrs. Nsongurua Augustine, thanked the awardee's parents for entrusting their young student to Topfaith International School for the six-year period. In response, Master Mbre-Inyang thanked the school's chairman, management, and staff for the support and encouragement they provided to him when he was a student there and urged the others to work hard and stay focused to accomplish similar outcomes.
