Bolu, a fourteen-year-old science student at the City of Knowledge Academy showcased his prowess in the Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 category.

“My school, the City of Knowledge Academy, provides tutoring for us (students) every session towards the competition," Bolu shared.
"Last year, I participated in the Microsoft Office Specialist examination where I came third. This year, my ICT teacher encouraged us to work harder. And with a lot of practice, I was able to get first position in the Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 category at the Nationals, which led to being selected to represent Nigeria at the world championship in Orlando, Florida, United States."
Consistent with the school’s mantra of excellence, the graduating set of 2022/2023 scored a 100% pass in the November 2022 IGCSE examinations and recorded a 96.3% credit and above pass in the just released 2023, WAEC results.
