A girl who scored 9As in her West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has been reported dead after getting a scholarship.
Chinecherem Promise Ibeh, the young girl, was from Abia state’s Umunneochi local government area.
Chinecherem, who was only 15 years old at the time, excelled in the 2023 WAEC exam.
The girl received a full scholarship to study software engineering in the United Kingdom after obtaining 9As in WAEC.

One of those who posted the story is Ofoke Bright Ikenna. He wrote:
