Beautiful Miss Faizal Abu
bakar Sani, 17, a former student of Olumawu School, Abuja, is a focused young
girl. When she was writing her West Africa Senior School Certificate
Examination, few months ago, little did she know that the examination would
earn her a scholarship to study any course of her choice in any university in
the world of her choosing.
Faizal, who was celebrated
by her alma-mater, Olumawu School, Abuja; had nine A1 in the May/June 2016 West
African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). She had A1 in
English Language, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics,
Biology, Computer Studies, Civic Education and Marketing. The result was
adjudged by her school and Kano State government as the best ever in the state.
Faizal who spoke with
Vanguard said: “I will like to study Medicine in any of the famous universities
abroad. Meanwhile, I have been offered admission by at least seven universities
in the United Kingdom and one university in Egypt, to study medicine.’’
On her reading habit, Faizal
said: “I have no specific study hour because most times I study until I get
tired and often fall asleep.”
She added that, “My mother
contributed greatly to my academic success, because she encourages and grooms
me. My father is a businessman who paid my school fees.’’
On the early marriage in the
north, as opposed to education for some girls, Faizal mum said: “I do not have
a problem with early marriage if the girl is already matured. The important
thing is that whoever is getting married should be focused.”
She continued, “Even though
I got married at an early age, I knew where I wanted to be and education was my
primary focus. I achieved a lot in education. I might not have been an A1
student like her (my daughter), but I was good in many courses in school.”
