History has been made as Osasere Okundaye becomes Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant at just 16 years old, setting a new national record after successfully qualifying through the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN).
Her remarkable achievement surpasses the previous record set in 2022 by Jonathan Adewale, who earned the prestigious qualification at the age of 17.
Congratulating the teenage trailblazer, the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, described her success as a testament to hard work, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
According to the minister, Osasere’s accomplishment proves that Nigerian youths have the potential to break barriers, set new records, and inspire others to dream bigger with determination and the right support.
He also commended her parents, family, teachers, and mentors for the guidance and encouragement that contributed to her success, while reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to empowering young Nigerians through policies and programmes that help them reach their full potential.
Becoming a chartered accountant through ICAN is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most demanding professional achievements, making Osasere’s feat at just 16 even more extraordinary.
Congratulations to Osasere Okundaye on this historic milestone. May her inspiring journey encourage more young Nigerians to pursue excellence and believe that age is never a barrier to greatness.
