A young Nigerian man named Abubakar Isa who failed the West African Examination Council (WAEC) twice has persevered and fought back to secure two scholarships to study abroad.
Abubakar Isa shared his story on his Facebook stating that he passed all of the subjects he sat for in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations except for English Language which was one of the compulsory subjects required to enter the University.
Not discouraged, Abubakar decided to register for another WAEC with the hope of scoring an A in all of his subjects. Unfortunately, he failed the English Language subject again but passed others.
Despite failing the second time, he did not give up on his education but instead persevered by improving his studies. He said he decided to register International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Examination.
