The student did not fail to reiterate that despite undergoing a fast over his examination, he still studied very hard.
He said:
“My parents bought JAMB past questions from 1978 till 2023 for me, and I was able to use them to practice by solving the questions.
“I fasted for 15 days in January and prayed to God to give me success in my exams this year. And I took action by reading and studying for the exams. I studied really hard.”
