An eighteen-year-old student of Eemaan Foundation College, Osogbo, Osun State, Ajisafe, Qareebullah Olamilekan, has emerged as the overall best candidate in the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), surpassing more than 1.8 million candidates who sat for the examination across Nigeria.
Little Drop Education, an arm of a registered charity and education-focused initiative of the OAU Muslim Brothers Forum, and the Small Kindnesses Foundation (SKF) join the Muslim community nationwide in celebrating Eemaan Foundation School, Osogbo, and their exceptional alumnus whose remarkable achievement has brought pride to the school, the state, and the entire Ummah.
Established in 2002 as a Nursery and Primary School, and expanded to include a College in 2017, Eemaan Foundation has consistently demonstrated the impact of value-driven, morally grounded, and academically sound education. Qareebullah’s national recognition in Umuahia is a powerful testament to this legacy, and to what is possible when young minds are nurtured with discipline, support, and community investment.
SKF and Little Drop Education also acknowledge the visionary leadership of the Proprietor of Eemaan Foundation College, Pharmacist Qamarudeen Bankole, a distinguished graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University and an active member of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, OAU Branch (MSSNOAU) during his university days. His grounding in faith, discipline, and community development continues to manifest in the success of the institution and its students.
They commended the founders, administrators, and teachers of Eemaan Foundation School for their unwavering dedication to academic and moral excellence, and for honoring their student with such pride and presence. Their commitment represents the true spirit of community upliftment and reinforces the belief that even the smallest acts of support can transform a child’s future.
To further encourage academic distinction among Muslim students across Nigeria, Little Drop Education and SKF are each awarding ₦100,000 to Qareebullah in recognition of his outstanding performance. We pray that this gesture inspires more learners to strive for excellence and embody the values that lead to personal fulfillment and societal progress.
This achievement reaffirms the bodies’ mutual conviction that meaningful support, no matter how small, builds a stronger Ummah, a more educated community, and a better nation.
